So if you have a train that lets say, come up from Cornwall to Paddington for instance and then is booked to work back again, as it stands in Paddington and is cleaned and "serviced" inside ready for the return, what about somebody (used to be the TAPPER) walking along the train on the outside checking everything is ok ?
Surely the modern trains of today are checked SOMEWHERE during their days work, especially the long distance ones ??
I hear what you all say about "modern running gear" such as roller bearings etc, but I would think from the safety aspect that they should be checked ??
Perhaps its me being too old fashioned !
