We enjoyed being at Railtex last week!  It was great seeing so many community members exhibiting and visiting the show and being able to have those face-to-face conversations was so valuable.  It does however mean that we are now very busy catching up on all the actions and follow ups - but on the plus side - there are some great ideas to progress with!
