Terribly terribly sad. I’ve known Geoff from our days at Peak Rail in the 70s & 80s. A lovely chap and an extremely able mechanical engineer. He would have been a great asset to any new build project and he was totally invaluable in...

Not to forget they seem to run Facebook Ads (and other social media?) pretty much all year round (design once or twice a year and leave to keep appearing on peoples feeds). They get the Yorkshire Post to visit and do a praising piece on them at...
