ORR revoke West Coast Railways exemption

The Office of Road and Rail have issued [1] with a certificate of revocation[2] for the exemption of its hinged door rolling stock with immediate effect.

Back in December[3], West Coast asked for a review of the ORR’s refusal to grant it further exemption.

At the time, WCRC said it remained committed to working with the ORR to find a long term solution to secure its heritage services on the main line. Options were being looked at, such as an appeal, and a new exemption application.

West Coast Railways run a number of main line tours as well as [4] trains in [5].

RailAdvent have contacted West Coast Railways and the ORR for comment.
