@AvantiWestCoast I am on the late running 16:40 from Glasgow central to Euston. We left 20 mins late and have now been stopped for 40 mins apparently due to a power failure in the overhead lines. Any news on progress dealing with this please?

Lovely to see you today, Gavin. I’m so pleased @CIHhousing and @natfednews are working together on housing policy and delighted we are delivering the Housing Community Summit in collaboration - such a positive partnership, it’s going to be great!
