    Does anyone know how the Telford Steam Railway's extension from Heath Hill Tunnel to Lawley Common is progressing? The railway's website has been very quiet on the extension this year.

    How long is it estimated to take before trains are able to depart from Lawley?

    A dry summer could see trains running to the end stops during the Christmas season, however it's much more likely the opening will be in 2012. Easter would be very nice!

    Surprised no-one has noted that the TSR will be closed for July and August following an incident. All the best to everyone at the railway.

    That place has been 'an accident waiting to happen' for a long time. Sadly someone has been hurt.

    Perhaps this incident will be a wake up call and the attitude of 'toys for local boys' will be eradicated.

    I cannot comment on whether or not what you say is true, however may I wish Paul Hughes a swift and full recovery.

    Presumably those that were aware that the place was 'an accident waiting to happen' raised the matter with the railways management or failing that, with the HSE/HMRI?

    After several incidents, yes, but nothing was done and I was deemed a troublemaker, both by Telford AND the Heritage Railways Association....

    I'm sure the HSE/RAIB et all will be doing a follow-up of this incident and if things are found lacking wrists will be firmly slapped. If, however, their SMS is found to be in Apple Pie order perhaps you'll reveal who "weltrol" really is.

    I have no problem revealing my name.

    It is already freely available on this site if you care to look.

    From the Office of the Rail Regulator today:

    Shropshire train operator fined £5,000 for incident which led to staff injury

    Heritage railway operator, Telford Steam Railway, has today been fined £5,000 and ordered to pay costs of £3,000, following a prosecution brought by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) for criminal breaches of health and safety law, which left a member of its staff with extensive injuries.

    On 2 July 2011, staff and volunteers of the Telford Steam Railway were installing rail on an extension to the line near Lawley Common, Shropshire. The incident occurred when a 450kg length of rail was moved from a wagon to the trackside by a crane, and struck Paul Hughes, chairman of the company, who suffered extensive injuries to both legs.

    Sentencing today at Telford Magistrates’ Court follows an extensive investigation by ORR into the incident, which found that none of the staff or volunteers involved in the work had received sufficient training, or been provided with appropriate personal protective equipment. In addition, no planning had taken place, and the railway crane being used was unstable, defective and not certified.

    David Keay, ORR’s Head of Inspection, railway operators said:

    “There are hundreds of heritage railways in Great Britain, and the vast majority are run in a safe and professional manner. However in this instance, those working on the Telford Steam Railway put their lives at risk, attempting to move a 450kg length of rail with an unstable and defective crane, without training or planning. We will not allow such an inexcusable and casual approach to the safety of those working on Britain’s railways.
    “Safety is the rail regulator‘s priority, and this year we will be inspecting heritage railways across Britain to ensure they are being operated safely.”
