Could a 9F's driving wheels be modified to cope with current check rails? Failing that would the GCR ever run a 9F at speed with their facilities on a demo run?
The ORR quote this paragraph of the Railway Safety Regulations 1999:
CDL is therefore defined as doors which are locked centrally (and cannot be operated locally, which is self explanatory imo). I can pull the emergency release on a 350 and shimmy the door open but that doesn't mean they...
LSL would be under no obligation to provide a loco / crew for thunderbirding duties.
If a unit failed and could not be rectified by the driver/fitter then it could cause many issues depending on location. Would probably be worth Varamis paying for a Tightlock/Dellner barrier wagon to be stabled...
NRM posted on Social Media today that the Scotsman has been taken off public display 'due to the process of finding a new custodian'.
Anyone have any insight as to who or why? One would imagine inspections need to take place if a new custodian takes her on.
Fun fact, a million quid can buy over 6 million sanitary products at bulk discount. Another fun fact is that a million quid is equal to sweet FA in terms of public sector expenditure.
A round robin email was sent round an office I work in detailing the change in policy from 'always available' sanitary products in the ladies to 'replenished on the first of each month' due to abuse.
As always, the few ruin it for the many...
Give your head a wobble... WCRC have had years of notice to fit CDL. It is unsafe and not fit for mainline operation. We are becoming an increasingly litigious society (taking after the US) and this, among other reasons, drives these decisions from the ORR/wider railway. The fact that WCRC have...
Varamis 5Z14 Rugely - Rugby D.E.D Via Stechford looks like it's having an issue between Coventry and Rugby. Driver on a train waiting to depart new street says it is proceeding at 3mph.
Having had a quick glance at Google Maps I think they'll struggle for space for any more than a standard 2 through platform arrangement. They've not announced a site yet but I'd imagine it will be somewhere adjacent to Landbank Avenue possibly either side of the Willenhall Lane Bridge. If they...
Without front line track workers there wouldn't be a railway for passengers. While frustrating its the necessary price to pay for a well maintained safe railway. Why not contact GWR and ask them why they haven't issued a note saying the station car park will be disrupted? Seems like the logical...
