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.

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

Indeed a very big problem in the modern world is a strange and rather pathetic obsession that some people seem to have with making people aware that they know things as if it makes them some how important, and thus will be desperate to get...

I disagree strongly. "There has been an incident involving Hagley Hall at Bridgnorth shed. An internal investigation is underway" (preferably accompanied with a picture of the sort that have come out on X) would show transparency, and undermine...

In the age of social media and smartphones, communication is crucial. This strikes me as a situation where the SVR would have been better served by owning the narrative from the outset, rather than referring to a collision simply as an...

I had no idea 44806 had been sold to Peter Best but still kept at the railway. I wonder what the benefactor who bought it for NYMR a number of years ago thought of that?? A bit like selling on a very generous valuable Christmas present you've...

Nothing wrong with ashpan sprays, and they are a tool in the armoury of reducing line side fires - and also, importantly in financial and maintenance terms, reducing ashpan fires. It's worth remembering though that if you turn on an ashpan spray...

You'd think that, with so many non-enthusiasts filling the marketing posts that the enthusiast events would be mediochre and the non-enthusiast events would be a success. Alas, it seems not to be the case. I believe that the week long Thomas...

I think there's a third leg to this, as the other two are really only facets of senior management (as distinct from task management). Over and above those two, the role of a Chief Exec is to set the tone of the organisation. There's a layer...

Well, I suspect the answer is probably fairly obvious, even if a little uncomfortable: that over a period of many years, they haven't put sufficient money into loco overhauls to keep up with a rolling programme of maintaining a stable fleet size....
