    Oh dear, they aren't really giving out very helpful vibes at the moment, are they?

    Sadly I’m not surprised at all, given their secret squirrel attitude in recent times.
    Maybe it’s no coincidence that you’re now getting the Royal visitors, when not many years back it used to be the A1 Trust?

    I might be being a bit too generous, but they're probably a bit busy trying to get North Road sorted out for the end of September at the moment.

    A red letter day for the project with a visit from the Duke of Gloucester.

    https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0BFvHvy72bfZxw8PMhKj4U4QDTfU6Nx68eLBcxAh6PM4dcMUB5tKC39vU2PJ8rQwHl&id=100064434321309

    “Today was a very special day for us all at 72010 HENGIST. We have been the very proud recipients of a visit by His Royal Highness Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester. His Highness was given a presentation about our activities and a tour of CTL's factory. He then spent time examining the various components of the locomotive and asking questions about our work. He even asked what kind of paint we were using on the driving wheel. We got the impression that he spent more time with us than was originally planned, as he was so interested”

    See FB link above for pictures.
