Ah! Thanks. I missed taking that sentence completely in. Need to read it again.
I smiled at "People Who Like Trains were very much in evidence" given that I watched Geoff Marshall's video "Through Running Starts on the Elizabeth Line" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXJQQ7YQ3gw on the new changes.
Marshall is very much a Person Who Likes Trains, and in the video he talks with others of that ilk.
