London Connections blog - No more

My first post here after lurking for a long time. It is prompted by the
discovery that Mr Thant will not be updating the above mentioned site.
There are may comments on the site itself expressing there fulsome
thanks and deep regret that this is the case. I thought I would make my
dismay and thanks known here not just to Mr Thant himself, but also to
all of you on utl who have only had rare occasion to click that link.

With apologies if any thread here has already been raised - I have not
seen it.

Thank you Mr Thant and good luck in your new endeavours,

Mike R

I'm sorry to hear that. Three cheers for U and his brilliant work, long
may he continue to do great things in other spheres. He joins John Rowland
and Dave Arquati in the Clive W. D. Feather Hall of London Transport
Website Fame.

U, i will buy you a pint at the next meet [1].

Same reason Messers Arquati and Rowland went before him, I'm guessing
- it's a bloody massive job.

Maybe he's got a job on the "inside" now? I work for LU so am always
checking what I post, just incase it could be deemed inappropriate!
