Our apologies to regular downthetubes readers for significant site down time on Friday this week.
We’re in the process of re-designing the site, but unfortunately some “under the bonnet” changes caused a number of issues resulting in a loss of service.
Our dedicated team braved the depths of the downthetubes network to restore services. Fingers crossed, they won’t have to explore that deep again for a while!

Into the downthetubes depths!
