Well well, great to read you are back. Kept wondering how you all are and look forward to seeing you when I can. Although my office is now `across the road` I am still `under the arches` also. Keep Safe, Keep well, Keep chuffin. Keith Howarth.

Thanks for the light lads - I owe you a cake - Don't suppose that will last 50.000 hours......Keith.

Thanks for mentioning the backlight on platform 3 clock, station staff kept mentioning it to me and I was off station on Sunday so missed you again...... Happy 2016 to you all, a cake will follow when-I-can. I scoffed your Christmas one as I missed seeing you!

Keep Chuffin, Keith. Duty Station Master.
