You will recall many years ago when I first started giving expert witness evidence that I said my goal was to make myself redundant! This matter is so simple that I think if we, as an industry, could do something about this and I could achieve my aim on this particular matter.

Before I get into that, I have had a few comments from the industry about an article that I contributed to in the Daily Telegraph Magazine on 29th March. The article was about the reliability and safety of escalators. All I can say is thank you for contacting me and that out of all the comments received, there was only one person who disagreed with some of my points.
