This from The Tea Boy...
Those arriving for the ATOC
Integrated Transport Conference in Manchester on Thursday were surprised
to see a practice run for next week's Labour Party Conference, and the
Scrap McNulty campaigns of RMT and TSSA.
This welcoming committee must
have been a particular surprise for one John McNulty, former head of Interchange
Integration at TfL, who turned up to make one of the presentations.
Unfortunately the protestors also missed the minister!
Norman Baker's keynote speech was
scheduled less conventionally for the close of the morning session
rather than the opening address. This allowed Stormin' Norman to miss both the 'red-eye' from Euston and the Brothers, as they had packed up and gone before he arrived.
Still, better luck next week?
