    [MEDIA] Well it still moves and isn't twisted beyond all recognition. It's the detailed examination that will show the true picture of the damage.

  2. jnc liked acorb's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.

    Given the very public place the incident took place, avoiding speculation seems an extremely unlikely and futile expectation. Early realisation of this and an attempt to control narrative by releasing the facts (however brief), would seem to be...

    Been a while since I last updated but things nice n steadily progressing, the new trackwork into the top of the car park for the new unloading / loading area and the bay platform is in, still wants some ballasting and the bay platform building....

    If the damage to the engine, as unofficially reported, has been correctly recounted, it is indeed significant. It's going to take a fair amount of time, money, and work to repair it. (Goodness knows about the shed, etc.) About the line...

    I have to say that the Incident at the Churnet Valley was almost unique in the lack of speculation or even announcements on what happened. All i have seen is a statement that it was a Swiss cheese situation. I have heard more but it is only...

    I have seen photos from inside of the shed which does indeed show a badly damaged tender, i won't share them on here as i don't feel it is my place to. I am amazed that the crew weren't injured, i can only image for the level of damage sustained...

    Sad to say, and its not right, but this is why companies end up employing specialists to manage PR when bad things happen.... As for it being a 'heritage' problem with people revelling in others misfortune, I would suggest its more just a basic...

    I'm not SVR GM so I have to respect and support the SVR approach so far and yes when detached it is easier for any of us to say we would do something different visual damage and actually what that damage is and means can be two different...

    Having seen a few of the pics and comments appearing online, I'm glad to hear there were no injuries. Pretty much *anything* can be fixed given enough time and money, but it must be pretty heartbreaking for the SVR and especially those involved...

  10. jnc liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.

    Does that common sense extend to whoever it was that shared photos taken from inside the shed who must be SVR connected? It’s all over social media and those particular photos just fuel speculation and it’s all well saying speculation is...

  11. jnc liked 35B's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.

    Common sense works both ways here. Demanding a detailed update is unreasonable for the reasons you give. But demanding that people don't speculate is a Canute like exercise - hence observing that putting something brief into the public domain...

  12. jnc liked 2857Harry's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.

    Or just common sense to understand that the railway is dealing with loss adjusters, specialist movement companies to get the loco out of the shed, summer gala set up, summer gala marketing, 3 visiting engine steam tests, other loco faults and...

    That's fine, but it relies on there being something "official" to fill the void.

    I would urge anyone to simply ignore any comment on social media that doesn’t come from an official SVR source. Don’t fuel uninformed speculation.
