The Night Rivera sleeper has retention toilets. It's the HSTs▸ which are the problem.
Of course. Do the day coaches/saloons have them as well? OTC |

I doubt that either Hi Viz or safety boots are required if the person pictured remains on the platform.
AFAIK▸ platform 1 remains open and most of the passengers wont be wearing PPE.
If he was "at work" then orange PPE is required and if working within 1.2 m of the platform edge then PTS▸ and a COSS is required, however in this case the platforms would have been be under possession an ES and PICOP▸ would also be needed. Network Rail would have supplied the track safe system of work for the break down (re-railing) team |

They've been hanging around for a few weeks now and been present when the service has gone into meltdown. |

Will the audience get to see what the normal timetabled service should look like?  |

Thanks. I was aware of DOO▸ but not DCO▸ .
Admin: Perhaps these terms could be added to the Acronyms list?
Done! |

I saw new track being laid immediately outside Paddington station on the Platform 1 side today. I was curious, is that in response to the derailment or was the work planned in any case?

The Royal Oak sidings look like they are being renewed.
At first, I wondered if they were going to put in Platform 0.

The Royal Oak Sidings are being relayed to allow IET▸ sets to stable there between turns. A new S&C▸ (crossover) connection is being provided so that the sidings can be accessed from Platforms Nos.1 to 5 inclusive, rather than just Platform No.1 at present.

Thanks for the info. Is S&C▸ another one for the acronym page?  |

Good to hear. IIRC▸ there used to be access to more of the platforms until the layout was rationalised?

Possibly, yes, but can you ask CfN nicely as I have already asked him to do some other changes today and I don't wish to entail the 'Wrath of CfN' twice in the same day......    .....just out of interest as well, older hands used to also refer to S&C (Switch and Crossings) as P&C▸ (Points and Crossings), so thats two new acronyms in one day. I'll fetch my tin hat and run..... |

Yes, I think it was done around the mid-1990s before Heathrow Express started. Need to dig out my old Track Plan books to check. |

So I take it that they are going to be wired? - unlike now. |
