    It seems doubtful ORR would be influenced one way or the other by such a threat. The only thing the regulator will be interested is in those coaches purportedly fitted now being R5 compliant. If WC has proved they have an effective method ORR...

    No, but it means it isn't subject to a licensing fee (as long as no other characters are used). The Rev Awdry named it himself, and thus it is in some ways THE Thomas...
