Thanks for the advice Mike and Paul! But I am a touch confused. Effectively, you are both advocating longer exposures and I did do this on the same night and the result is below. Ok, I'll admit that the ISO was far less, 200 instead of 800 (pls don't ask what I was doing at 200 because I've no idea myself!) BUT, surely if the ISO is less then simply the result will be darker? And if it does have an affect on trails can you please explain to me how it does.

So why do I have trails with a 15 second exposure?
