That link is a local file path, which means it points to a file on a specific computer. In this case, the file is on a computer named JOHN and it's located in the Downloads folder under the user profile C:\Users\JOHN\Downloads\Fjord Engineering Conference Invitation 2024.pdf.

Without access to that specific computer, you won't be able to open the file.

It seems to me a strange place to hold something like that, suggesting that everyone will have quite a trip to get there, rather than somewhere closer to the Midlands, making the travel generally easier/shorter

Fjord Engineering have proposed a tramway for Eastbourne and Linkedin tells me their MD is Brighton based

Quote
The Sunshine Tramway is the Fjord Engineering proposal for environmentally friendly transport to Eastbourne. It will:
* Provide a Mass Rapid Transport System residents of and visitors to the town.
* Increase the potential for short journeys within the town and environs
* Reduce the number of motor vehicles on the road.
* Increase employment opportunities.
* Provide safe and affordable transportation for our elderly residents.
* Reduce the volume of “school-runs” for our younger residents.
* Significantly reduce our carbon footprint.

And, with a few years of time travel involved, the 'Sussex Scot' to bring people down from the Midlands.
