Kevin,
That was the fear. There was certainly interest, but if we went ahead, general feeling was that one--or, perhaps both events--would fail. Just too many trips on the table right now. Hopefully, everyone on the fence will get a ticket for Pete's trip, so that we get a SP 18 charter at D&S.

Hard to "cancel" something that was never officially a go! It's all semantics, but at the same time, I don't want Trains to get a reputation of cancelling more things than we actually run. You have to spread the word fast to gauge interest, but a "what do you think" idea isn't a charter announcement.
