    Steve,

    You need to get your self on the Vodafone network. I don't get any issue with non phone coverage.

    If anyone's interested - the much anticipated (well by us lot in the Wagon Group :)) Cattle Wagon edges ever closer! And so does the BY Van (C) - but that is still someway off - but starting to come together. :)

    http://preservation.watercressline.co.uk/blog/entry/wagon-group-report-29-june

    Sadly the much hoped for official launch will not be the grand affair we hoped for, due to a lot of factors outside our control. :(

    Details of its launch will no doubt be posted on the Website in due course, and on here as well. ;)

    Ta Muchly :)

    It has proved to be more complex than first envisaged - hence much head scratching, turning the air blue, tea & coffee drinking.............. seeking of advice......... yours truly on occasion ;)........ but the end is nigh! :)

    Was certainly looking good when I saw it back in March, will there be any suitable cargo for galas and the like? :)
