Trains and training: I'm attending a training event in London today, a one-day conference on Content Management Systems organised by the UK Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication (STC UK). For any professional in the technical communications field, staying abreast of changes in technology and in best practice is essential, and I try and attend training events at least three or four times each year. What amuses me is the frequency with which I hit travel problems when attending these events. Today, there is a big question mark about whether I will be able to get a train home to Manchester this evening after some containers got blown off a train by high winds, blocking the West Coast Mainline. Fun and games!
