The more things change, the more they stay the same

What a delight to receive a pdf copy of LTT in my in-box last week! Having been with you from Issue 1 until a few years ago, I had got over my withdrawal symptoms after a few months. But it was like I’d never been away: West Yorkshire consulting on light rail systems, FirstGroup declaring it would fashion its business around UK bus operations, and even a letter from Paul Withrington declaring the UK would be a better place if railways were turned into roads. I almost wanted to be back, except I'd bxe working from home!

Well done to Peter Stonham and his team for recognising that sometimes quality briefing and industry intelligence is more important than short-term commercial considerations. While it lasts, I shall enjoy my fortnightly fix. May you all come through Covid-19 safely, and may LTT continue to inform and nurture debate for a further 30 years.
