A thank you to Manchester

One very good idea at this conference has been the issue of a delegate travelcard to people attending which gives free travel on local public transport in Manchester - buses, trams, and trains - for the duration of the conference.

Presume the justification for this is that it means delegates are not adding to the congestion in the city, already exacerbated by the road closures around the conference centre made necessary by security measures.

But it's certainly most useful for getting from one's hotel to the conference and back.

whilst you are down there MOSI is worth a visit, if you have time for it.

The only thing I did never quite understand is they make a big thing of Manchester having the first railway station, but i never understood where you would catch a train to if there is no station to get off the train when you get there.
