I'm not considering centrality - I'm considering that if you all come to
Manchester I'll be able go to the AGM :P

Just because everyone turned up from Euston in
this case simply confirms
what I was saying - Londoners thought it was worth making the trip,
people
from say, Bolton, would have decided Salford was
difficult to get to and
stayed at home. When considering cities the ease with which the station
can
be reached from everywhere should be the
priority, be it Manchester
Piccadilly or London Liverpool Street.
You're assuming there were people that were meant to come but didn't,
we don't know that. Alison was just giving an example of a time when
choosing a geographically central location turned out not to be a
particularly good choice. The exact reasons why it went wrong that
time aren't really important, the point was that you need to consider
more than just centrality in the country.
