John :

I believe the time on our posts is GMT, whereas the Transmitter Engineering post with the off-air detail is BST, so hopefully everything is now back to "normal". Langholm is a relay off the main transmitter at Caldbeck where there has been Engineering work with possible service interruptions. This might well continue until the retune event on 31st July.
