    It is funded through the WMRE. It’s a really joined up, collaborative scheme which is designed to test the water. There’s no loser in it at all. SVR get paid to run it as a contract job, so can’t lose. WMRE fund it, and get the data needed to...

    Thanks Tom. That was exactly the point I was making. Or trying to make. I knew a loco owner who did most of the overhaul himself, but wasn't a driver and almost lost interest when it worked. Some people are happy sleeping in a support coach...

    2004 was the year the main line return plans fell apart. The awarding body, RESCO, lost all the existing paperwork so there were no grandfather rights left over from the 1996-98 running. We would basically have started again with fresh surveys...

    I tend to keep my emails fairly formal so that they're clear and easy for everyone to understand. The Instagram and TikTok content is much closer to how I am as a person day-to-day. It's definitely not an act! In our accounts, turnover is split...
