    Trying to disprove the Control Log after the event is quite a battle. I was involved many years ago within the railway industry clarifying a report of a lineside fire was or was not caused by a steam loco. Eventually the evidence was clear , the...

    Don't think there is any precedent for NR making a public statement to the extent of "naming & shaming" in circumstances such as this so unles the operator publicly confesses it will end up being 2+2 etc. There isn't any value in a blame game,...
