I was 1/2 expecting quite a lot mentioned on Metrolink 2CC opening yesterday
Article should be online tonight with photos to follow next weekend. The opening was just too late for this week’s update (although uploaded on a Sunday morning the bulk of the update is sorted beforehand).
I suppose I must take some responsibility for the omission as I was a little late submitting material to Gareth. This week’s update had already been compiled by the time I sent some text and photos.
Not at all Steve – the only way it would have been included in this week’s update would have been if you had sent them through before the line had opened on the Saturday! I am always grateful for any contributions whenever they come through.
Nobody needs to ‘take responsibility for the omission’; there wasn’t one! We need to remember that this is a website operated as a hobby/interest and as such items might sometimes not be uploaded absolutely currently, contributors also ‘have a life’. The opening was known about in advance so it isn’t exactly breaking news as such.
Gareth and Andrew do a great job in posting news items in very timely fashion, I for one fully appreciate their efforts and those of the contributors.
Just saying!
