Visit to Cumbria Northern Stakeholder Day out

7/10/2014

Comments

 
On Saturday 27th September John K and Neil set off at 6.37 to make their way to Preston for the Northern stakeholder day out. A very imaginative itinerary had been put together by Northern's Craig Harrop which included a steam train ride on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, Boat trips on Windermere and a lunch at The Hydro Hotel in Bowness. Over 200 people were involved and it was really nice to catch up with friends and news from other stations Neil and Andy from Walkden, Angela from Freccles..... after a misty start to the day weather got better and the trip to Ambleside showed the Lake District's fells at their best! Alex Hynes, Northern's MD, addressed everyone at the Hotel and he spent time too discussing issues with individuals. It was a really good day out and we thank Northern for their organisation and hospitality. It was also good to have time to chat to some of Northern's most senior personnel and to renew acquaintances.
