    WCRC loses judicial review in High Court

    IOM railways are irrelevant to this discussion, they are not regulated by by the orr and so you might as well comment that railways in India run with open doors so that should be ok here.

    Supermarkets discussion

    My local coop in East Lancs had a load of water softener on offer, nobody in East Lancs would be daft enough to order it as the water is as soft as a baby's bum, had to be a machine mistake

    WCRC loses judicial review in High Court

    The majority of passengers are going for a steam train ride over a viaduct, age of carriages is irrelevant to them and they are probably not aware of current of previous safety rules. Lack of CDL is a risk which does not need to be taken.

    Cleanliness of Northern line trains

    I did ask why trains are washed on the way out of depot and not on the way in, I was told that this was so the wet trains picked up dust from inside the tunnels, I have no idea if this is the actual reason though. There are no track layout issues with washing trains on the way in.

    If you check your speed using a gps tracker then you may find that you are doing considerably less than your intended speed, possibly 10% less, I know my car reads 7% below corredt.

    Cleanliness of Northern line trains

    Assuming they are working there are 2 washes at Morden, one on each side of the depot, Trains are normally washed when entering service at Morden so pretty frequently.
