Public Transport Chaos yesterday - the newspaper headlines tell us of the London bus system shut down, and our own status report page on First Great Western's train services show that they too had major issues (but congratulations to them for managing to run even a reduced service).

But our training courses are carrying right on without any interruption - that's the advantage of having residential facilities! In fact - at times like this thank goodness for our rooms. We can just sit back and enjoy the beauty of the snow; here are some pictures from this morning.


Our hotel and training center - Well House Manor, at 48, Spa Road, Melksham, Wiltshire.


Our HQ is a part of one of the Melksham Spa buildings - we're at 404, The Spa, Melksham, Wiltshire.
