Might be down due fault, most WWW pages are not available 24/7, even PPRune!BD

Working fine here as well 
I'd suggest using one of the many free tools available to 'ping' the site from your location. That will tell if the problem is with NATS or elsewhere.

What an advert for ATCOs everywhere - sometimes Fran Slater talks to 35 aircraft an hour!!
That's just over one every two minutes, NATSstatsfans!
(before anyone accuses me of poking fun at Fran, I am assuming she was misquoted somewhat...)

Sorry if thats a complex explanation but the numbers game doesn't really explain how hard a controller is working.

Gary Lager, perhaps we could get you in to the TC sim and put you on Biggin and see if you can handle 35/60....maybe Fran might like to be your mentor on that occaison!

Any fool can do 35/60 on the Sim Gonzo, hell I even did about 80 whilst training blippies, it's just that every other transmission was 'kill that one, ooops and that one' a phrase which unfortunately cannot be used in real life!!

As unbelieveable as it sounds it is SERCO that runs NATS IT system and it is them that will fix it when it goes wrong. They will also deal with any other problems you encounter should you call the help line

I'm concerned that you are finding the NATS website unavailable at times. It would greatly help us to follow this up if you could let us know when. If possible, by email to: [email protected].
Many thanks,
WILBUR

Wilbur..........
Have I got this right ??
You give an address of the NATS press office yet you are seemingly unaware of any problems with the NATS website apart from what you read on a public forum ????
Please tell me I have got it wrong

I was under the impression that the NATS email system worked independently of the website.
I assmue (perhaps wrongly) with a name like 'Manchester ATC' you work for NATS. There have been some periods recently when the intranet, and thence the email system, has been offline.

FBW: I've checked/used the NATS website most days, so far without a problem. If you've experienced difficulties please let us know so we can follow it up - as per my original request. Thank you.
Forgot to mention that the site hosting company is supposed to notify us of any downtime, but hasn't - so we're following that up already.
