Tracy Brabin tried her best to put on a brave face but after so many broken promises over decades, the cynical view from West Yorkshire is this project will never appear.
I'm hopeful, if not optimistic, we’ll see “spades in the ground by 2028” for “preparatory works for tram” – we’ll see!

Merry Christmas!
Thank you to all who helped make 2025 a successful and (mostly!) enjoyable year. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and that 2026 is a good year for you.
Christmas brings pressure and expectation too. If you need help, please reach out for support, don’t suffer in silence.

72% cheaper?
We lost an opportunity this year by 12 points.
You win some, you lose some.
The winning bid scored 1 point more on quality (close!), and 11 points more on cost, so their fee was 18% of ours!
I'm interested to see how it works out.

Love it or not, MS Teams is very useful in providing connectivity across organisations and significantly reduces the need for travel for client meetings too. Today, though, was a reminder across two useful in-person meetings that travel is sometimes worth it. A long day, but I think a positive one!
