Not sure what year this was made, but it's a great watch. It's incredible how things used to be!

mid-fifties?
Is there any information anywhere of the evolution of PTS standards on the railway? When did they decide that digging very close to the live rail with a shovel wasn't a great idea? When was high vis clothing made mandatory? etc...
It depends on the location, as the ten foot is defined as "the space between one line and another, where a wide space is provided between one pair of lines, where there are three lines or more." So the ten foot in this video is where the guy is walking as a place of safety, as the bridge piers and platforms in this location mean the gap has to be wider. Further along the line between Acton and Hammersmith however the wider space is between the eastbound and westbound fast as per the more conventional NR definition.They also appear to have a different definition of "the six foot" and "the ten foot" to that is in force in NR today. Do LUL still have this definition today?
