    I personally don't recall NR ever making a public statement with any such details, they're not under any obligation to divulge the details leading to an action. It is of course very possible for anybody with an interest to make an educated guess...

    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,...

    A couple of points to consider here. One is the this is hearsay based on an apparently unauthorised leak of an internal Network Rail Control Log. The other point is that the Control Log is based on assessment at the time and these assessments do...

    It would be a shame if the fire is definitively attributed to a steam loco because, as you suggest, the repercussions for innocent parties will be profound.

    The extreme heat of Friday (32C) had abated, Saturday was forecast to peak at 28C. Tangmere was due around these parts at around 18.30 when the temperature would, hopefully, have fallen to something more pleasant. Oswald had a sore knee,...
