Yes they did fill in the old holes at Eastleigh. I think they thought that no-one would notice......

Interesting. What level of knowledge of safety legislation are operational station staff, e.g. supervisor, GSM, etc trained and examined on? I assume the relevant details of parlimentary acts and regulations they need to know are included in the LUL Rule Books? My question also applies to all other LUL grades. Fire tests have to be taken on a regular basis - I think for T/Op's it's officially every two years but it's normally done every year as part of the annual refresher training, which currently goes by the acronym CDP. The tests are tailored to grades - the one a T/Op sits is different to that which a CSA sits, for instance, because there are different requirements for each role. While I can't say with complete certainty, I expect the same holds true as you climb up the grades. (If I recall correctly, our trainer at Ashfield House said that the one for CSA is actually more comprehensive than the one for T/Ops. I've never had any problem with the fire tests but it probably helps that they're multiple choice which has always been a strong point of mine!) The actual refresher training tends to take the form of being shown a video (again, tailored to grades: the T/Op one focuses on trackside fires, smoke in carriages, arcing and fusing, etc and the CSA one is station oriented), some group discussion, and then the test. If any wrong answers are given then those may be discussed. The relevant regulations are discussed, such as the Electricity at Work ones (14 and 15 apply, IIRC!). Does that answer the question or am I barking up the wrong tree there? No not at all. This is the type of answer I was hoping for. Thanks. Infraco staff are expected to hold fire safety certificates which are valid for 2 years. The material covered in the courses include learning about what materials and substances that are allowed or banned from underground use, storage licenses, hot works permits, types of fire extinguishers, etc. Plus references to the Kings Cross fire and the Fennel Report.
