Thanks to the OP for the update and I'm sure we're all, passenger, staff, taxpayer, dog, cat, train, etc, disappointed that the dispute continues with no sign of progress, no matter who is to blame, in coming to a resolution. However on the basis that this isn't really news and there is nothing new to discuss the thread is now locked pending the next update on this dispute.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
