That's all down to that very naughty Shep Woolley, he told me that the WD stood for "Wonderful Deodorant." I've since found out that it's short for Water Displacement. But perhaps its uses are not fully understood and this is a true anecdote....

No they dont. But I recollect they get a copy of the national daily log from the Network Rail National Ops Centre. So they will be aware. With regard to delays; yes they (WCR) will pick up the costs of the schedule 8 impact on Scotrail...

Swanage’s nearest branch of Barclays (with whom we bank) is now in Dorchester. So that’s a 60 mile/1.5 hours (on a good day) round trip for someone carrying potentially 10s of thousands of pounds in their car. Or we pay a security company £10k+ a...
