’m delighted to start by giving credit to the people who have worked so hard over the past few months on the re-design of the magazine. Paul Kampen has spent long hours in mastering the new so ware package that we now use, assisted by Rachel Grifths. She and Pete Shaw have also given valuable advice on layout. The results speak for Ithemselves! Three months – the tme between FoSCL magazines – is a long tme in the life of an organisaton. In May, we were congratulatng ourselves on being well on the way to achieving all the targets we d set ourselves in our Five-Year Vision in 2006. Since then, a number of things have happened.

FoSCL was 30 years old on 27th June, and on 1st May it was 135 years since the frst passenger train ran along the S&C. Our heritage is what makes this line unique, and we must never forget those who toiled and died to build the line, and those who fought so hard a quarter-century ago to save it from closure.
