	Privatisation of British Rail - UK Railways - A Wikia wiki
		In 1988 British Rail Engineering Limited was split between the major engineering works, which became BREL (1988) Ltd, and the (mostly smaller) works that were used for day-to-day maintenance of rolling stock, which became British Rail Maintenance Limited (BRML).
		Foster Yeoman's class 59s proved extremely reliable, and it was not long before quarry company ARC and privatised power generator National Power also bought small numbers of Class 59s to haul their own trains.
		British Rail was to be broken up into over 100 separate companies, with all relationships between the successor companies controlled by legal contracts and supervised by the Office of the Rail Regulator and, in the case of the passenger railway, the Office of Passenger Rail Franchising (OPRAF).

	British Rail Class 53 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British Rail assigned Class 53 to the single Brush Traction-built prototype locomotive Falcon.
		Returning to British Railways in 1963, Falcon spent six months working out of Sheffield on both passenger and freight diagrams, after which its testing was completed.
		In 1970, British Rail approached Brush Traction with a proposal to buy the (by now practically worthless) locomotive for its scrap value, which was accepted by the builder; the loco underwent a rebuild at BREL Swindon, emerging in corporate Rail Blue with full yellow ends and bearing the new number D1200.

	Is America Exporting Class Actions to Europe?
		In the United States, any potential plaintiff is considered a class member unless she says otherwise, but in the U.K., all class members must "opt in," or actively join the class prior to the trial.
		Although the British government lacked sovereign immunity in the case, the suit faced the high hurdle of having to prove that the government acted with malice.
		The British have found another way around the ban on contingency fees in the form of professional litigation funders, who have made their way from Australia in the last five years, Greene says.

	Rail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Specifically, the value of rail services is defined as the change in highway user, maintenance, and safety costs that would result if rail traffic is shifted to trucks.
		Rail movements in the I-5 corridor from Vancouver, WA to the British Columbia border include many origins and destinations, commodities, and railroads.
		An initial estimate of the average tons per truck is made by dividing the net tons in the rail car by the ratio of the cubic capacity of the rail car to the cubic capacity of the trailer.

	Pension Arbitration Trumped by Class Proceeding Legislation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Class action legislation requires the court to certify a proceeding as a class proceeding if certain statutory requirements are met.
		In order to resolve the statutory conflict, the British Columbia Court of Appeal ruled that where a court finds that a class proceeding must be certified by meeting the statutory test set out in the applicable legislation the court must find that the arbitration agreement is ‘inoperative’.
		In essence, the British Columbia Court of Appeal in Mackinnon resolved the statutory conflict by requiring a court to weigh the circumstances of each case to determine whether a class proceeding or arbitration is the preferable procedure.

		By reviewing rail traffic data obtained/developed at several points in time over the analysis period (and just prior to it), it is possible to see the growth that has led to mainline capacity problems.
		Conflicts internal to the rail system, between freight and passenger trains, are the second concern, and again are principally related to western Washington and its deep-water port activity and intercity and commuter passenger train service (both existing and proposed/desired).
		Rail facilities are planned to include a rotary dump which will be located on a loop track for rapid unloading of unit trains.

	Ged Class
		These locomotives were not as successful as their production cousins in Class 42, and all were withdrawn by the end of the 1960s.
		The British Rail Class 43 diesel-hydraulic locomotives were built by the North British Locomotive Company from 1960-1962.
		Like most NBL designs, these locomotives were not very successful, and were withdrawn before their Class 42 sisters, themselves doomed to a short life because of the decision to standardise on diesel-electric transmission for mainline locomotives.

	Travel By British Rail
		There are some short stretches of jointed rail, but these appear to be in places due for replacement as lengths of continuous rail were laid in storage between the running rails.
		Rail travel is so effective in Britain that this pass and some careful selection of cheap (relatively anyway) hotels eliminated the need to rent a car for the whole trip.
		This kind of rail is held between steel clamps and secured against the outer clamp by steel springs or even wooden blocks.

	Planning Tools : Britrail, The Most Celebrated Way To Travel Britain
		It should be noted that British trains are very different from American trains or European TGV style trains where a reservation and preplanning is necessary.
		Local British First Class fares tend to be expensive and are mostly designed for the corporate traveller.
		British platforms are the same height as the train carriages so weight lifting is not a requirement, however, given the generally older infrastructure of hotels, stations and so on there are still zones where steps will be encountered.

		Automobiles were not allowed until 1939 for the American and British military and 1948 for local residents.
		During World War 2, British and American soldiers stationed in Bermuda and their Bermudian counterparts added so significantly to the railway's use with their constant movements that huge damage was caused to bridges, sleepers, track and trestles.
		It was named in honor of the exploits in Bermuda from 1851 to 1853 of the Second Battalion, 56th Regiment (West Essex) of the British Army.

	Rick Steves' Eurail Passes: France Railpasses
		For just 15% more than the second class price, the first class pass is affordable and gives you more options on crowded trains.
		In either class, daytime TGV seat reservations cost $4 per seat in France or $11 in the U.S. The number of reservations available to passholders is limited, so it's wise to book early for weekends, summer, and any train you can't afford to miss.
		See www.sncf.com for details or to order (click the tiny British flag and indicate that you will pick up tickets in France).
