Hello again,
WEBLINK ABOUT INDUSTRIAL ACTION ON UK TRAINS
Don't worry, we have not had news of any more strikes than we already know about. This message is not to tell you about anything we haven't already mentioned! But we did check with National Rail to find out the best place for you to see what's happening. Here is the weblink:-
https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/industrial-action-july-20230625/
The most crucial information is this:- " The RMT Union have announced three days of strike action to affect several train operating companies on Thursday 20 July, Saturday 22 July and Saturday 29 July.
In addition, the ASLEF union, have announced action short of a strike affecting some train operators from Monday 17 July to Saturday 22 July. This action involves ASLEF members withdrawing from working overtime during this time."
WEBLINK ABOUT GETTING TO CAMBRIDGE
There's plenty of general information about travel and transport on the IAML2023 Congress website:- https://iaml2023.org/travel-and-transport/
OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS
In addition to these updates via the mailing lists for the UK branch and the international community, we're very frequently posting about all sorts of things via social media, so if you still have a Twitter account, we urge you please to follow @IAML2023 - or you can also follow the Facebook group:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/769452560748929. Feel free to interact with us - it will feel more like a community of interest if we communicate with one another!
Like you, we are not enjoying the mess that Elon Musk is making of Twitter, but at the moment, Twitter and Facebook are the channels we've chosen to use. (You might also catch Karen occasionally posting Congress information on Threads - but that's her own personal account. Her Threads account is @KarenMcAMusic)
We're not proposing to post daily travel updates, because many of our delegates are seasoned travellers who know well how to organise themselves - and there's always the risk that over-frequent updates aren't seen until a later date, causing more confusion than comfort. Rest assured that if there is important news, we'll do our utmost to share it with you.
We look forward to seeing you in Cambridge in less than three weeks!
