I WAS very pleased to read that John Wylson, of London Road South, Lowestoft, has been given a lifetime achievement award by the Transport Trust for his work in restoring the Excelsior.

What a mammoth task this must have been - a real labour of love.

My grandson has recently spent a week on board the Excelsior with fellow pupils and two members of staff from Kirkley High School. What a wonderful team building experience for them all.

My thanks go to all who arranged this trip and congratulations to John Wylson on his award.
