Here's the current NRM Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034 but each page is overprinted "This strategy is in the process of being updated. Please check back in 2025"
Op.Rail.Strategy 2019-2033_A4.indd

I found it at the link below, so I guess that's where the updated version'll eventually appear.

I would suggest public sector tenders tend to be more rigorous, but that the rigour isn't necessarily well directed - which is usually a comment on the confusion that there can be over project objectives, rather than a criticism of public sector tendering per se.

 

I have the original version, but not the overprinted one you have. I looked for the updates promised at the end of the document:

"This document will be reviewed every year.
Date of paper: March 2019
Review Date: March 2020"

but found nothing!

 

Not in anything I write!

 

Sadly, that's the date when everything changed for everything

Defnitely not! "-orum" is a Latin ending (genitive plural) and "-ii" is Latin nominative pural, while "criterion/a" is Greek.

 

Of course, it would be preposterous to have words in the English language that mixed Greek and Latin roots in the same word.

Anywsy, enough of this, I’m going back to the tele-vision …

You can use this Latin stuff ad infinitum but you won’t catch me doing it.

 

You were beaten by C. P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian (as was);

“Television? The word is half Greek and half Latin. No good will come of it.”

 

Maybe in this financial situation mainline running is not near the top of the list

The plan also includes a huge brownfield development. If the planning permission for that isn't dependant on a large contribution from the developers towards the museum, someone has slipped up.

 

And so on to p94...

 

Romani, Ite Domum !

 

Caesar vincit omnia
Pompey aderat
Caesar sic in omnibus
Pompey sick in hat.

 

All being well Scotsman is due to move from Shildon to the NVR by rail on 19th February. Whether under its own power or not I don’t know, but it will at least be in light steam.

 

We were taught;

'Caesar ad sum iam forte
Pompey ad erat
Caesar sic in omnibus
Pompey sic in at.'

 

As the former owner of a highly average vauxhall
"Per astra ad ardua..."

 

What does Caesar have to do with Portsmouth Football Club?
