Didn’t see anything on a search, so here goes:
Our cars have mileometers, and it got me wonder how TOCs keep track of service of their traction stock?
I've never heard of a mileometer on a loco (at least the old diesels), so how do or did the likes of BR keep track of how much distance diesels, say, covered?
Did the TOPS database allow extraction of mileage for each train, as it recorded positioning of stock?
Was servicing based on distance travelled, monthly date, as required?
