David, I'm a signaller on The Marches line and know how this system is "supposed" to work and the problems it has had on the Crewe line!! It looks like the crossing at my Box will be replaced with this system!

Perhaps you'd like to suggest to the Mods that they make it a ruling that only full-time boat owners should be a member here then? I'm sure you'd get a very concise answer!

I think you might find that CaRT will not allow that!

To clarify, as a railway worker: We are subject to random alcohol testing, which is normally done using a urine test. If there is an "incident" then a breath test can be used to give an instant reading but it has to be followed up with a urine test if anything is found by the breath test. EDIT. There are now other companies providing the testing alongside BUPA, because they weren't able to provide testing within a reasonable time in some areas. Our work limits are much lower than the road limits!

"Similar technology is being used at Network Rail track crossings and 49 crossings have now been de-manned and are successfully using this laser equipment." Having seen the problems they have had at various crossings on the Shrewsbury - Crewe line with this equipment...................................

What type of boat is it?

Really?? A presumptuous comment!!
