Jens Vesterdahl Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi all. After a couple of weeks of intense programming every night (and I'm not out of the woods yet), I now feel fairly confident that I can deliver a decent preview of TouchCab 1.7 with XpressNet. The version I am bringing will be an early alpha version, and as such it will not be feature complete, but certainly good enough to show at a seminar. Combined with ordinary demo on Rederring the rest of the time, you will get the overall picture. Looking forward to seeing you there. Best regards Jens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Vesterdahl Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Just squashed a nasty memory bug that caused the app to crash and with that, TouchCab 1.7a1 is ready for prime time in Rawtenstall. Not feature complete nor bug free, but reasonably stable, and it does everything I want to show you. Looking forward to shaking your hands in the weekend ...

RMweb Gold Savoyard Posted October 27, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2011 Travelling to the Exhibition from Manchester Piccadilly Station I have had a couple of enquries about getting to the exhibition from Manchester Piccadilly Station The best two options are:- Transdev Service X43 (The Witch Way) Manchester Chorlton Street to Burnley via Rawtenstall This is the most direct way and the bus stops near the Ashworth Arms at the junction of Burnley Road/Hollin Lane with a 0.3 mile walk to the school. Saturday Buses leave Manchester Chorlton Street at 0720 0800 0820 0840 and every 20 minutes, the journey time is approxiametly 50 minutes. Please note the 0940 1040 1240 and 1400 departures operate as service X44 and take 5 minutes longer. Sunday Buese leave Manchester Chorlton Street at 0847 0947 1047 1117 and then every 30 minutes. or Metrolink to Bury from Piccadilly Station and then either the ELR to Rawtenstall Station and then the Free Bus Service to the Exhibition An alternative to the ELR from Bury to Rawtenstall is local bus service 483 to Rawtenstall Town Centre this operates every 20 minutes on Saturday and every 30 minutes on Sunday.
