    The start of a boiler ticket can be something of a moveable feast, to be agreed between the builder and their insurance company. Just because the tubes are in and it has been filled with water to inspect for leaks doesn’t mean the ticket...

    I think that provided that there are no restrictive structures and the line side is maintained the risk is low until the person gets to their waist. I am not a guard, but I have twice halted my train and walked back to have a few choice words...

    I don't think it is a case of personal responsibility being voided. You mention Singapore Airlines; I suspect they Airlines are paying out because (a) the question of personal responsibility isn't clear cut given the short time before the seat...

    Disagree, there is a valid case for lineside clearances to be a individual line risk assessment, but I understood one of the things the ORR are getting themselves in a lather over is doors. Trains leaving with them open, people trying to get on...
