    On second thoughts this is better discussed "off line" between the folks involved.

    Cheers, Neil

    Looking like ten days of light rain/showers in the North West in the next two weeks after Sunday so maybe that should be enough to shift the dial.

    One hopes that this will be the case. Then it's just a matter of every operator and owner thinking long and hard about which of their locomotives are best able to contain cinders, sparks and the like. Even in the most benign of circumstances vigilance is the key, even though guarantees are nigh on impossible.

    I see that West Coast chose not to respond to the BBC's request for a comment. Given what they are doing that is positive on the Jacobite it would have been a good opportunity to try and rebalance the debate.
