While domain issues are being worked out with iliketrains.co.uk, a temporary home has been set up at iliketrains.dreamhosters.com. To access the message board, head to iliketrains.dreamhosters.com/confabulation. Feel free to add posts and comments as this information will not be lost when the final transition is made. If this site becomes unavailable in the near future that means the official site is back up. In this case, go to iliketrains.co.uk to access the site.

The official iLiKETRAiNS site is down and will likely remain down for the next few days. Plans to fix the problems are underway. Messageboard data is intact and it will be running again in the near future.

As more information becomes available, I will post here to keep you updated.

The Christmas Tree Ship EP has sold out at the iLT shop. It appears that you can still order the EP on recordstore, but is likely to be available for only a limited time as the EP seems to be selling fast. Recordstore is currently listing the EP as the 7th best seller for preorders. Additionally, iLiKETRAiNS indicated that there are a limited number of copies coming on the road with them and there are some reserved for record shops. Make sure to secure your copy as soon as possible as it does not appear that they will be around for too long.
