Unfortunately, due to increased commitments with his full-time job, @bb21 has come to the decision that he is no longer able to devote as much time to the forum as previously, so will be therefore be resigning his position as Moderator. He joined the staff team in July 2011, and over that time has supported the development of our Fares & Ticketing section, as well as contributing to our successful Fares Workshops. He has also been a member of the Technology Subcommittee, helping make decisions and inputting into the forum software and hosting, in addition to assisting with the organisation of countless forum meets and meals. His departure is a huge loss to the forum team and I hope members will wish him well and thanks for his 10+ years service. bb21 has however kindly agreed to stay on until just before Christmas to assist us with handling the extra traffic expected as a result of upcoming plans due to be announced before the end of the year.
As a result, @Cowley, who is currently a Moderator of the General Discussion (including Covid-19), Railtours & Preservation and Modelling, Simulations & Games forums, has been promoted to the position of Moderator for the whole forum and thus will be joining the main Forum Staff team with immediate effect. The Moderator positions for these forums will remain vacant for the time being.
