@Leatash, got my keyboard back so can do a full reply! I pointed out to NR in the first consultation that in 2014 the line was breached and they needed to work 24/7 to get it up and running, which we all understood. But, that is not the case in building the Dawlish Berlin Wall! The line is open and so there is no need for night working. I asked why they needed to work through the night and ...
So why have we have we had to put up with 24 hour working? My point is if the line could be reinstated in only two months why has it taken over a year to do this work? The answer, too many workers spend too much time on their phone! anyone else Got problems with their keyboard on this site? mamu workers spwms

I've just received, privately, the message below. As I couldn't for the life of me think why it should not be posted, publicly, on here, I've done it instead. Here is the text: "Most of us knew that this would happen. There have been many times I have walked down to the bridge and watched them working with 15 men just standing around of their phones. They worked a lot faster to repair the ...
Network Rail may not be a commercial business but wasn't it the case that Rail Track, its precursor, was? And from what I remember RailTrack wasn't a glowing example of the benefits of privatisation. In fact it was such a shambles that it was taken back in house as it were and became part of Network Rail. "Railtrack was a group of companies that owned the track , signalling , ...
She will steam down the Exe Valley to Exeter, before heading along the estuary past Powderham Castle and along the famous sea wall line through tunnels and cuttings of red rock, beside beaches and coves. The Royal Scot will be passing the famous sea wall at Dawlish which was due to reopen this weekend. Read more... ...
