    Please enlighten me. If a child doing work is deemed to be employed, and the Equality Act applies to employees, then how are the older volunteers not employees? Pat

    Yes, there is the 9F Club, for 9-16 year olds, which I have some involvement with. The tasks undertaken, all under supervision of numerous experienced adults, include: Cleaning of engines from ground level Breaking of wood for lighting up of...

    The original plan, as I understand it, was for the Railway's Footplate Inspectors to be trained up on the oil firing and then to cascade it down to the remaining footplate volunteers. At the moment that training is very much in the first phase...

    Every evening the NYMR Operating Department in conjunction with the MPD produces a planned loco roster for the next day. This is sent to various departments for information and is usually put up on the NYMR’s website first thing in the morning....

    You've gone for pretty much everything I would of thought of. The only other one I know definitely has a roster is the Nene Valley that's normally fairly accurate though does have 'TBC's' on there are the minute - Locomotive Schedule | Nene...

    I am not so sure. This is based on a few minutes on the internet only so could be wrong but: Coal produces about 9000kWh per tonne. Diesel about 12700 and Rape oil about 10800. On the assumption that the loco would burn 3 te of coal @£400 per...

    I guess the point is that naturally individual railways are going to be more risk averse if left to make these decisions for themselves than if everyone's sat round the table with the ORR and got agreement, which is why I think this document is...

    It goes up and down; but you're right, it is/has always been distressingly common. Noel

    Good one! (I checked, and it seems to be new; I propose to remember it, and use it; hope that's OK.) Noel

    There will undoubtedly be another incident in the future, one which isn't covered by those rules. At which point, the rules will be extended yet again. Repeat. Noel

    This sounds fairly ominous for the NYMR, if the cost of 12 tons of coal a day is an insupportable load. (I'm assuming, of course, that the fare revenue income from the services allowed by said expenditure is enough to cover said cost; if it...

    I thought a bit on this one before I put this out there but to be honest I don't think it should have taken intervention from the top in this case. The NYMR have put significant investment into this project with a limited time to get anything...
