No need to put up any message along the lines of
"There will be no service on the Coffee Shop this evening
This is due to more parts of the website needing maintenance than usual"
Or "This is due to overrunning maintenance works"!
There is much tidying up and completions works to be done though, so I ask all members to mind the temporary barriers that are still up around some of the more obscure features. But the important coffee machine is working again.
I will be doing a little more in my "fresher" hours tomorrow and plan to have a run through all the stuff we have here and do a bit of an audit before the end of the year (yeah, gives me 2 days)
As we saw with Okehampton, and we're seeing early signs of Bristol - Oxford, and we'll see at Portishead from 2028, provide a service that's half decent at they'll come. I am already seeing signs of search engine more active in bringing guests our way, and various flow changes. Connections from the internet to our databases are now being made at out Ionos server with the UK2 one being an intermediate station if you like. So I also have work to do balancing the stock and traffic around.
On a less virtual note, 2025 will be bringing a great deal of interest, including - we hope - reliable and undertandable trains we can market, and I look forward to that through 2025 - majoring on my home town but with wider views for the whole network - Wiltshire, the South West, the
GWR▸ area and the
UK▸ .
