MAY I take the opportunity to commend the public spirit shown by a number of staffers at our celebrated National Railway Museum?
No fewer than nine of them have taken time out from a busy day to take part in the planning process by submitting letters of support for the NRM’s extension proposals.
These, which involve closing off Leeman Road and forcing pedestrians and cyclists to make a difficult diversion out of hours, received just 13 letters of support in total, so the NRM contribution represents the great majority.
This admirable effort is led from the front by Alex Robertson, senior development manager at the NRM, but honourable mentions should also be made of Lynne Minett, head of learning and events, together with a public events programmer, a marketing and digital executive, two interpretation developers, the head of interpretation and design, the strategic project manager and even the senior photographer.
Such solidarity is commendable, but why did they all find it necessary to conceal the fact that they work at the NRM?
