Just 1 year today since the public launch.
It's been an interesting year and I think XR have been instrumental in changing mainstream concerns and media discussion. It's not been them alone of course, but they've played an important part. To me the only significant error was the recent tube action - Canning Town will haunt. I don't think public transport is always out of bounds - the Canary Wharf DLR action in the spring was good. But the organisation has had to do a huge amount of growing, learning and evolving in the public eye. It's not over by any means but they've already made a difference. The challenge (which they acknowledge) is maintaining momentum and goodwill.
