hi Mike, Hope your well, had a walk up to see you today, then i thought you may be closed for the winter. Are you off to India again to ride on the best rail lines even if the trains are a little crowded, or so I'm told.

Ah well, Mike was instead having a walk DOWN, ...to see me!

Nice to see you again Mike, hope you are properly on the mend now.
By the way, I can confirm that your transaction was completed as you requested Sir!  ;)

Hello first to Snowcap. Well I am still open on the golf until 31st oct, but I am experimenting with an "honesty box" and if you haven't got your own clubs, you give me a phone call. Remains to be seen how it goes. Thanks Fester for your note. Sorry forum Administrators, a bit off topic from the railway station. Mike

Just to set your mind at rest Wrex - I did hear a rumour that it was going to be Bob the Builder with assistance from Noddy, Postman Pat and the rest of the crew!

I am still surprised that the line to Llandudno Junction is still open, it's looked for years like it's being run down ready to be closed  :( Not something that I want to see happen though!

You can rest easy Wrex. Things are progressing as they should, but an embargo has been placed on releasing the information for the time being. All will be revealed within the next two weeks!

Unless there is a leak to this Forum, of course! ;)

But that's part of the problem isn't it?

Too much of this supposed behind the scenes stuff. but nothing happening in front of the scenes!

Not just the Railway Station, but other things such as the Pier Head renovation, (not yet started), Clarence Hotel, (aborted??)

... and last year, with reference to the scandal that is the Pier Pavilion Site, Mayor Robbins kept saying 'I'm working on it behind the scenes. watch this space'

The politicians and Councillors would do well to remember that they work for us, we pay them and I would like less of this clandestine nonsense, and more visible action.

Two weeks ago the Council in the form of its spokesman Cllr Terry Davies stated that the mail problem with the Council's IT system was being fixed by a specialist from Kindways, a local computer sales and service company.  The Web Page is still down and the mail system out of operation.   

I blame the silly stupid idiot who mucked it up in the first.

But didn't Kindways provide the original IT system? They're being paid again to fix something that didn't work in the first place? Surely not?

Nildram were the original installers and maintenance co.  I believe they were taken over by Talk Talk.

Whoever is dealing with it now has been advised how to execute a fix, but appear to not want the simple solution.  Never met such a shambles in all my life.  :rage:

David Jones (Clwyd West, Conservative)
I am sure that the hon. Gentleman will be pleased to hear that I am already holding discussions with the Welsh Government and local authorities in north Wales with a view to exploring the possibility of electrifying the north Wales railway line—105 miles, and an enormous economic benefit for north Wales.


That sounds like like PoliticanSpeak for 'we have no intention of doing anything'.  8)
