You'll be pleased to know that this morning's failure was a direct result of an attempt to update the LATCC computer to allow the Swanwick computer do work. Also, even if we get the new centre open in January (rather doubtful, IMHO), the same LATCC computer is the main ATC computer TFN, and will send its data down a line to Swanwick. Some would say that is introducing a further option for failures, but that would be "off message" to use new-Labour speak!!!
Thanks for the kind comments - we did our best in difficult circumstances.
