The withdrawal of lineside permits was all the talk at the recent GCR gala. Apparently a permit holder was photographed walking down the middle of the track. So perhaps there we have it - one person has spoilt it for everyone else.
Whilst it may well have been a factor the letter does say the decision was the result of the ROGS Audit.
I suspect also it has been a victim of it's own success - there are now many "linesiders" and many trains in both directions on the GCR - they are also running industry test trains on a frequent, but irregular, basis.
