I'll only run it if there is sufficient interest and it looks like there isn't; sorry.

Next opportunities in the London area are potentially:
1st October
14th October (evening)
15th October (morning)

Again, only if there is sufficient interest...

Maybe in a few months time; depends on other commitments.

If we have anyone who is into software development / programming / querying databases who is interested in attending a fares data workshop in Birmingham in 5 weeks time, please get in touch (we have 1 place remaining).

I'd be interested in attending but unfortunately can't commit to travelling around that time :(

Unfortunately we had to change the date of the fares data workshop in Birmingham which was scheduled for 10th of December; we are currently looking at a new date in 2023. Although it's fully booked, we have had quite a few cancellations lately so if anyone else is interested, please do let me know and I can put you on the reserve list in case a place becomes available.

We also are running a standard fares workshop in Birmingham on the 10th of December; I already have 3 people up for this however if anyone else is interested, again let me know and I can put you on the reserve list in case a place becomes available.

I may be interested if something else falls through.

I am considering holding a fares workshop in London on Saturday 25 February; would that be of interest to anyone?

Depending on who is interested, it could either be a standard workshop (for newbies!) or an advanced workshop (for people who have attended one before and/or are already fares 'experts';))

Also I have one place left at a fares data workshop in Birmingham on Friday 10th February; send me a PM if this is of interest.

Assuming @MKJai is wanting a standard workshop, that's what we will go for on this occasion. One place remaining at the moment.

Still one place remaining for the data workshop (which I will point out can be a good way into the industry for any software developers who may be interested in getting jobs in the area of fares & ticketing; I know of companies who are looking to employ people in this area and several people who attended data workshops have gone into various roles at retailers & other providers)

The one in London is a standard fares workshop, which will go through anything anyone wants to go through with the idea being people don't need prior knowledge, is that ok for you or are you after something more advanced?

Given the identity of someone who added a note on your profile being someone who works closely with fares data (and knows more than me on the topic I am sure!), I am guessing a data workshop will suit you! Would be around 1200 onwards if that suits

Just to be clear, the Birmingham workshop is a fares data workshop; is that something you are interested in? Have you had a look at the fares data specification?

@superkopite @Rail_Midlands I'll see if I can fit you both in.

(@aidan_d I am assuming you are no longer up for this as I've not heard from you ?)

Haha, he knows far more than me too. Yes, I understand a fair bit about fares data, but mainly self-taught, it would be very good to understand more. 12:00 sounds perfect for me, thx

Regarding the London one, I think the standard one is a good start. I often find that you learn more being around beginners because they ask sensible questions that experts has long since overlooked

I'm new to this , but downloaded the 70 page fares data spec from RDG found in Google. It looks like meta data for IT system development (I'm from IT background, able to relate easily).

Hello. I might now be free for the London beginner fares workshop on Saturday 25/02/2023. All my plans for the preceding week are now up in the air so I will either be free on that date or in Cardiff !. So if there is a space left at the bitter end remind me please !.

Where exactly in London btw ?.
