    I don't think we're diagreeing. They have done a lot of damage, if only through being out of their depth and failing to bring more competent trustees on board.

    Spot on. Every trustee (and shadow trustee) needs to consider their position and number of them need to resign over this. Until those responsible for destroying trust in the organisation and trashing its hard won reputation have departed it will...

    It’s more of an aspiration tbh! I’ll check our calendar, who knows, might be there as loco support :D

    According to the website it says the Aberdonian's will return in 2025 which I find interesting because: 1. Who will provide coaching stock? SRPS now tied to LSL. 2. Who will operate it? West Coast probably don't want to operate it and DB Cargo...

    The A1 trust needs to regain the supporters trust, and the first step has to be honest, with the supporters and say what's gone wrong, and why, Some people at the top need to consider their role in this, and resign, if their getting in the way...

    Having no skin in the game here, I think the biggest issue is the information vacuum. The problems with ETRMS, when set out, are understandable. It seems pretty clear there are (less forgiveable) boiler issues that may or may not be concurrent....

    Of course **** happens in an environment like overhauling a locomotive. But it is one thing for a project to be delayed, and another thing entirely to make commitments to customers for hire of a loco when it is likely that the commitment can't be...

    I guess you’re not in customer services then? For me, selling tour tickets to the general public (not just us rosey-eyed nutters) for almost two years now, when you knew absolutely that the loco would not be ready to haul them, is rather more...

    Not even a hint of apology or contrition to covenantors, passengers or other supporters and stakeholders.

    It was - and I do wish people would learn to spell 'laser' correctly, unless 'ztimulation' is a word... yes @Bikermike , I'm looking at you! https://lms10000.co.uk/news/f/help-us-to-buy-a-laser
