The Cotton Mill Express 31/1/09

It's got to be that high to cover the cameraman's insurance premium.

Hi Mark
you know how much it is and you know the footage is good

 

There normally priced at £25 aren't they anyway?
Well from the editions i've seen you always seem to get plenty for your money, i'm assuming that the footage from the Cotton Mill will be used on the Jan - June 09 DVD, so i'm assuming there will be tones more footage on it other than 45407 on Copy Pit. However due to how PSOV have presented themselves regarding this train i shall not be purchasing their upcoming DVD.

 

Simon Karl and Dave are excellent videographers but they use a lot of passengers who supplement the footage

 

24 hours gone - no reply yet from PSOV Towers

Perhaps its beneath them - or perhaps they are too ashamed to reply in public

 

Martin - don't write such tripe, or try to justify that idiot with half a hundredweight of technology dangling from his wrist as he leans half his body out of the droplight. You are a photo shoot organiser and should know all about compliance, safety case etc.

He and his company are not enthusiasts when they are at work, they are businesses operating on the National Network for private profit, and therefore legally responsible to various bodies, and in various ways for their actions. They may not like it - but they are.

A simple acknowledgment that they have indeed overplayed their hand, in public, understand the foolishness of their actions, and will be more restrained in future, might show them as an organisation that can learn from their mistakes.

A sullen silence simply underlines that they are not fit - on safety grounds - be allowed the opportunity to do anything like this again - as it is plain stupidity, unsafe, sends all the wrong mesages, as well as being downright insensitive.

As I said PSOV can stand up to the plate - or be assessed accordingly - their move.

 

To be honest they probably don't know that this thread exists.

Regards,

Dan

 

Martin - they can laugh all they like - If they do by any chance hold PTS certificates, I would love to hear them explain how their activities comply.

In the meantime if that is their attitude, then their disreputable behaviour and cavalier attitude ranks them directly comparable to the bellowers and flailers who have already been threatened by Network Rail and Tour Promoters

On or about the line behaviour is no laughing matter.

 

No one has said for definate it was PSOV, just an assumption, there is no absolute proof.May have been just co-incidental

 

While trying to keen an open mind, im wondering how you come to that conclusion ?, the photo evidence seems pretty foolproof.

 

yes I know, but we cannot jump to conclusions. Everyone in the support coach at the time will know who it was. Anyone like to expand on that?

 

Hi

The way this discussion is going its getting like the situation when 76079 was slipped at Exeter, how long before we find Nat Pres in the railway mags again?

I dont particually enjoy reading the posts of people going on about the subject.

This is a very unfair comment 46236 to request other people from the support coach to comment on who the gentleman was. Do you honestly think someone would do that? The question is why? Just because you and a few others want to know who he is. We now know where the guy is from and if they want to make a comment then they will. If they dont, then that is up to the individual involved and also the company who will be using the footage.

The thread is staying open but if this turns into a slanging match, it will be locked.

 

I quite agree, many of the comments are much too precious. H&S Nazis, snitchers and hypocrits make bad bedfellows. Let it lie!

Cheers
Alan
