You can be sure that any safety regulations and any organizational structures will - like the Australian track gauges - vary from State to State.

 

Here is the version of the URL that will work when it is no longer the most recent post (which is what the one above is).

Re hard hats and hi-viz, I went to watch the recovery after the Mottingham derailment in 1977, when the cement was being sucked out of the derailed wagons into Blue Circle tanker lorries on lowmacs. It was noticeable that the BR staff were wearing hi-viz but no hard hats, and the Blue Circle lot had hard hats but no hi-viz.

 

Having seen so much about the re-connection of the RVR "Missing Link", I was wondering whether a gradient profile for Robertsbridge Junction to Junction Rd is available. The existing KESR profile is Tenterden Town to Junction Road.

Presumably the full survey of the missing section has been completed, or does it perhaps need to be amended once the track has been laid?

 

@Wenlock - see the last few pages of the TWAO Land Plans document at:

Thanks.

In due course, perhaps a clever person could convert the gradient information into a simplified profile to add to the Gradient Profiles section of this forum.
