Welcome Lee to the moderator team.

« on: August 15, 2018, 19:48:38 »

A very warm welcome to Lee (back) onto the moderator team. Lee is a rock of positive railway campaigning, with a deep knowledge of things public transport, including the technical stuff. He was a founding member of the Coffee Shop some 12 years ago, and in that time he has posted some 6,000 messages; to a very great extend he's my secret weapon having very much taken a researcher role over the years - he can winkle things out as easily as I can overlook them.

We are looking forward to developments at the Coffee Shop. It has become clear to us founding members that this is no two-week flash-in-the-pan and that we need to gently steer to the future. "We'll just run it to the end of this franchise" has become something of a joke as we're still on franchises and direct awards in the same series, and mission creep means that we should now be looking at a greater continuity - a real challenge against the technical progress of social media, forums, browsers, devices and data feed. We have a very strong team anyway - and re-enforced with Lee, and more clearly a separate group from any specific service group, we're looking forward to the next decades.

Many thanks to grahame and the moderator team for their warm welcome, and many thanks as well to all you fellow members for liking the opening post, and for your separate messages of support.

There comes a point where you take stock of the past and present, and then the future suddenly appears in sharp focus. What I see is a CoffeeShop forum that has never been more relevant, never been more respected, and never been more needed than it is right now. But even better is the knowledge that these are exciting times, and we have exciting plans going forward.

I cant wait to get stuck in and play my part in helping to take this forum onward into that bright future.

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 ...
