This evening and into the early hours of the morning, to allow our colleagues at Rossendale and Pendle MRT to have an uninterrupted Annual Team Dinner, we provided standby cover for them for their team area, should any emergencies occur.

Fortunately all was quiet, and our provisions made for providing cover were not required.

Meanwhile team members Diane Blakeley and our Training Officer Elaine Gilliland were guests at Rossendale and Pendle MRTs Annual dinner.
