Delighted to have been voted ‘Best In Show’ by the visitors at this weekend’s @srmgtrains exhibition in Swansea - thanks to everyone who has come to the show this weekend, & for the usual range of interest and questions. Now, to pack up and find our way round Reading- as someone has closed the M4 🤦‍♂️
