I was involved only in the Coffee Shop forum 'online' aspect of our live debate, and I believe that went very well.  My thanks to everyone who contributed to those discussions.

Just to confirm, many of you sent in some more questions for Daryn (and his team at GWR (Great Western Railway)) and all of them are valid - we simply didn't have time to include everything on the 'live' agenda!

I am now compiling a further 'agenda / list of questions' of all of those other issues, which I will send to GWR for them to answer.  I am sure they will do so - but as several of those questions are sometimes quite line-specific, they may need to gather information internally before they can give a proper answer.

They will all be posted here, as soon as I can do so.  Smiley

For all members and guests, I have spent much of today transcribing the Zoom session and I have  posted the text onto each of the six question threads.  Please follow up there were appropriate and please forgive my "signature" typos.

That's a 'work of Hercules', and thank you for doing it, Graham.  I forgive you all of your typos - there's nothing too contentious there that I spotted. Wink

Thank you for transcribing the discussion.  It pads out the written answers very well.

We are an independent forum, provided and run by customers of Great Western Railway, for customers of Great Western Railway and we welcome railway professionals as members too, in either a personal or official capacity.

As well as posting messages onto existing threads, and starting new subjects, members can communicate with each other through personal messages if they wish. And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
