Excellent public meeting tonight with Nigel Harris and Christian Wolmar of RAIL Magazine. A bit of a scare the night before when Nigel and Christian suddenly announced they would not be speaking on the subject as had been previously agreed with their office, and apologies to those who travelled a long way in response to our publicity expecting that. But the meeting was nevertheless extremely enjoyable, and yes, we did manage to extract a few off the cuff comments from Nigel and Christian on the thorny subject of rail re-nationalisation, on which, much as I had predicted, they completely disagreed! After the meeting was our AGM, at which the committee were re-elected to their existing positions unopposed, and Geoff Stainthorpe joined our committee as an additional member.
