Unbidden advice for successful project delivery: Start with a plan Stick to the plan until you have executed the plan Or the plan has failed If the plan fails, stop and come up with a new plan But stop Repeat from the top 1/2

My fringe #SheffDigiFest talk on the 9 May 2022 is intended to provide a general albeit nerd adjacent audience with an overview of the current rail-freight timetable and processes Details here Free tickets are on Eventbrite and will be virtual on Teams

It's quite Leeds focussed but kudos @mgleadow if you can spot the three Sheffield easter-eggs

@AdamLBrown3 @lorenzo_hermoso @undertheraedar I have never made any statements about accuracy, that is your projection. Rather this shows passenger flow where some places it will be better than others. The caveats are in plain sight. Please build a better model with the data at hand, as I would be very happy to see that.

@SimonZev @GarethDennis @Captain_Deltic @RMTunion @MarkMiddleton37 Thanks. As I was about to log on and check the latest numbers Revenue figures have continued to increase since at least Christmas. Despite the TPE meltdown, Avanti and Northern issues and ongoing industrial disputes. Passenger number more so
