Update 157 16 September 2012	HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPS! HOPS is now three years old, having started in the Signalmen's Department at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway in autumn 2009. The first group of pilot users was Danny Scroggins, Neil Carr, Dave Wasdell, Peter Smith, Bob Goundry and Peter Wotherspoon, who were very tolerant with the initial scheme and provided a lot of valuable feedback. A model we have maintained to develop HOPS into the shape it is today. The system is now in use, to some greater or lesser extent, in 198 departments, on 32 UK heritage railways, and assists in administering 2798 staff. In the last three years 27,000 turns have been rostered on HOPS and on a weekend day 1000 logins are serviced. The program how has 60,000 lines of code. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to HOPS over the last three years, what a great product you have created! Here's to the next three years. Cheers! Danny, Luke, Alex, Joel, Katharine and Sam.
