B and D LCC members with e-mail (most of you) will have had a message saying that the stibasa Google Group (GG) has disappeared from the internet. At the time of writing it had not reappeared, though from my limited research I know that other GGs that disappeared have re-appeared. So fingers crossed.
The consequences of this are several. (1) the archive of e-mails since I set up the GG is not available - though I hope it isn't lost for ever. (2) I've had to set up the GG again, and if you want to access its web page you need to join it, which requires you to have a Google Account. You should still get group e-mails even if you don't join the group on the web.(3) The GG's e-mail address is Stibasa2@googlegroups.com. It used to be plain old Stibasa@googlegroups.com but Google say that address is taken! It is, but it doesn't work. The GG's name is still stibasa. (4) Everyone is a new member of the GG, though most of you should have been members of the GG of the same name that disappeared. I'm sorry about this, but as the service is free, I don't suppose the geeks at Google will be running up and down trying to put it right.
I'm going to contact the BBC's technology TV programme 'Click' to see if they'll do an item on the phenomenon. www.stibasa.org.uk is still alive and quite well thank you musn't grumble and so is "our" blog - http://www.stibasa.blogspot.com/, so there's a bit of cyberspace with a local transport flavour. I say "our" blog, but your contributions are noticeable by their absence.
Welcome to any new members - please get in touch, by e-mail if at all possible as that makes my life easier.
