I notice that Nechells (Nee Meaford) didn't appear in the video, wasn't it ready in time?
Bryan, I quite agree with your sentiments regarding SMS and rule books, the requirement for regulation was recently (in the last couple of years) changed so that the onus was on the individual railway to produce it's own in the form of a Safety Management System (including the rule book), which is approved with the ORR, within which effectively anything could be written. If the railway has an agreed SMS which allows for Hi Visibility Orange clothing to not be worn in certain circumstances then there is nothing wrong with not wearing it. I can think of one railway where there is almost no HiVi gear worn and all fully approved.
