Liam Sumpter _______________________ We were pleased to host a visit made recently by Liam Sumpter, Northern's new Director for the Central area. Accompanied by Matthew Worman, Client and Stakeholder Manager, Neil gave both visitors a guided tour of the station and, for Liam's benefit a quick guide to Glossop on a lovely sunny day as well! It proved an amenable and interesting meeting where information and perspectives were shared. Neil alerted Laim to the issues surrounding the proposed withdrawal of the Class 323 trans on the Glossop line as from the end of 2017 and their replacement by Class 319 units. These units are unlikely to be able to maintain the current timetable. Liam has promised to look into this. Liam was also able to meet Derbyshire Police Officer Julian Gallagher who explained how Community policing works in Glossop. We are very grateful for all the work Julian does on the trains and at the station particularly with young people. And of course for his support of FOGS! Liam also had a chat with Mike Ball proprietor of TWIG cafe at the station. Before he left Liam kindly agreed to switch on our Christmas Tree Lights at our Community event on 3rd December. We thank Liam and Matt for making this visit.
