    Presumably there will, in due course, be a liability shown in the accounts of Steamtown Railway Museum Ltd, as the owner of the coaches and applicant for exemption, for the costs of fitting CDL by (?) CRRES Ltd?

    Thats a very small pin head you're dancing on. They've agreed with ORR now in precisely the same way they "agreed" to not use the mk1s in passenger use since 2023 ...... Hopefully you and the SVR will be duly rewarded for such staunch support...

    No, in their own words they've "decided to fit CDL", any "agreement" is to comply with the law, which is kind of a prerequisite for running a business in a regulated sector of industry ....

    I doubt it’s all that hot or exclusive. I expect ORR’d say much the same to you, or anyone else, if you asked them.

    So you have a personal animus with Mr Harris. What has that to do with ORR using its press office to answer legitimate questions from journalists when WC is making public statements which are lacking accuracy, to say the least?

    Last week you were hailing the "agreement" with ORR, which WC was claiming to have been struck. There was no agreement and ORR had to say so. WC has undoubtedly done great things with mainline steam but that is in the past and doesn't make ORR...

    "Sensible"? Disparaging the ORR and Green Signals podcast? Ok. I don't get the sense you've backtracked, Harry, despite WC themselves reframing the "agreement with ORR" line you cheered last week. As several people tried to point out to you it...

    WC's "press office" has been leading the way these last few months so I'm failing to see your beef, twice mentioned now, with ORR speaking in response to railway journalists covering the "story". Incidentally, your contributions tend towards the...

    Indeed, it looks like the disingenuity of the statement last week was called out by someone, probably ORR, because it implied the Regulator had made some undertaking beyond simply their obligation to review an application for exemption. The...

    Is it incorrect to say that in 2018, when renewing the R5 exemption, ORR told WC that it would be the final exemption issued, for a period of five years? In March 2023, when that exemption period ended WC sought its renewal and was declined by...

    The WC statement appears to have been reissued today https://westcoastrailways.co.uk/news/the-jacobite-2026-season-update It doesn't now mention "reaching an agreement with ORR" but does say "we .... are going to install Central Door Locking...

    Agreed, I was merely answering the question 1020Shireman raised as to whether a T'bird contract is in place rather than commenting on whether it should have been invoked.
