As 2010 turns into 2011 and the new decade begins I would like to thank everyone who has been so supportive this year, particularly Anna-Jayne Metcalfe, Tom and Stuart Seale, David Bailey, Mick Knox and many, many others. This next decade is going to be a huge one for the S&D, both at the established S&D sites (Shillingstone, Gartell, Washford, Midsomer Norton and Midford) and new locations which will spring up as the decade progresses.
And a particularly big thank you to all those doubters who have embraced the S&D revival over the last year or two, who often become the biggest supporters and advocates of what we are doing! I'm sure there will be many, many more who will come over to us in the next ten years!
A very happy and prosperous New Year to all of you.

Until fairly recently I have to admit to being a "doubter" and, although I think 2011 will be a very difficult year, especially for any public sector financing, I also believe that the case for extending existing S&D projects as well as initiating new ones (even if its only protecting the trackbed/infrastructure etc) will continue. Next week petrol and diesel will go up in price, as will most rail tickets, but the signs of increasing rail travel are growing all the time. As regards the heritage sector, which I think is a big incentivisor, I have been very impressed with all the work carried out at MN and Shillingstone and I really must go along in person this year to see them! So well done to you all and keep up the good work!
