The ORR has now announced its findings regarding West Coast Railway Co, following a consultation with other TOCs. THe result is that WCRC has now had its licence to operate on the main line (steam AND diesel) suspended. The door is left open for them to return, but it seems that the Carnforth-based outfit will need to make some substantial changes to their management structure as well as their safety procedures, training and enforcement.
The upshot of all this is that there will be NO WCRC-operated services, moves or tours for the forseeable future, putting the vast majority of the upcoming 2016 rail-tour programe in doubt.
