    The answer to all your questions is 'you'll just have to wait and see how things pan out over the next few days.'

    Why are you being so negative about Bahamas being fit to run, there's another 2 weeks to go yet, plenty of time to get things sorted.

    unless either by road or dragged , 45596 can't move . TPWS problem until resolved precludes a test run on any circuit . Let the society and its contractors get on with the job in hand rather than constant questions , what ifs, maybes etc
