Please feel free - be encouraged - to continue to add to the stories in our long history.    The Coffee Shop is not a normal forum where last month's discussion is old news this month. We (moderators, admins) do not lock old topics very often, and indeed you'll find we often merge continuing stories.

The forum does alert you when you post in older topics; I am likely going to change the message here to be more positive about continuation.  The warning of the re-opening of a topic will remain in some form, though, as the poster needs to be aware - to set a context at the start of his post, and sometimes to be aware that this comments follow up a member who's no longer active at The Coffee Shop.

The corollary question you may ask - "How do I actually find a topic to follow up on - I know it was discussed somewhere!" ... and the answer has to be the deep search box; the search on the menu bar uses standard forum software and is often not useful, yielding confusing results.

With thanks to the member who raised this issue in a personal message. Wonderful to have customer comments and suggestions like this.

Do you have something you would like to add to this thread, or would you like to raise a new question at the Coffee Shop? Please [register] (it is free) if you have not done so before, or login (at the top of this page) if you already have an account - we would love to read what you have to say!

You can find out more about how this forum works [here] - that will link you to a copy of the forum agreement that you can read before you join, and tell you very much more about how we operate. 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. Views expressed in posts are not necessarily the views of the operators of the forum.

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 ...
