Mr Riley always sends out grade A locomotives, no question about that, as for the rest of your post, you seem to have a problem with the way WCRC run their business. They are not fools and over the years they have served the railtour industry...

VT are running without CDL at the moment but they have an exemption to allow them to do it. The fact people aren’t falling out of the train left right and centre does rather add weight to the argument that CDL is unnecessary.

That NER style signal bridge will be superb - and yes, I rather fancy that it will be unique. The team at KSE are doing a fabulous job of their recreation of the station area. Mark

Can't say I've seen any photo evidence of that, and their Mk.2's are still on the exemption list...

I guess people are terrified of travelling with VT at the moment in case they fall out of the train as they are still running without CDL (under an exemption).
