Re: Dictionary attack
Except that is not the case at all.
For instance signalling problems are normally attributed to Network Rail, OHLE and the actual track are attributed to Network Rail as well. UNLESS the damage or problem was caused by a train, and then the TOC that runs the train in question is responsible.
Leased stock is completely irrelevant, as the TOC that has leased the stock out is responsible for maintenance and running.
Similarly if Passenger Trains A, B and C are delayed or cancelled because Freight Train Z has broken down, then the FOC is responsible for the delays and are held responsible for any fines levied.
And in the case of "someone jumping in front of the train", no fines are levied in this case as no-one is at fault in that situation
