	“It’s been great. We have seen an incredible geographic mix of visitors – Russians, Turks, French, German, Swiss and Canadians. All quality… we have met someone from Hitachi Rail, who we would never come across in the course of normal business.” Paul Ward, Marketing Manager, CML Innovative Technologies, UK “I really enjoyed what I have seen. Everything has been covered, from full interior design to the details like luggage stowage, via refurbishments and a broad range of disciplines. …it is great to have intelligent conversations about design.” Ines Elskop, Principal, Elskop Scholz, USA  “I’ve been very interested in the presentations, especially on passenger flow. It’s a very useful event for us, specific in nature. I also like the Thalys refurbishment – it demonstrates some brand-new ideas in a refurbishment.” Wolfgang Weber Hampel, Interior Engineer, Siemens, Germany “It has been brilliant. We have been very surprised with the high level of visitor numbers, and we have met many potential customers. I was so busy I’ve not been off the stand.” Antoine Caron, Project Manager, Stratiforme, France
