Thanks for this site it is great to think people are so committed to compiling the info and presenting it in such a user friendly way. Thanks for assisting me in my hobby. If only aviation legislation was presented this way, my job would be so much easier. Cheers

I agree with Steve Smith's sentiments regarding the premature scrapping of standards, and dont forget that many B1s and A1s only worked for about 15 years.

The waste of taxpayers money was compounded by building very expensive low powered diesels which were employed on slow moving loose coupled freight services that the existing steam locos could have coped with at little extra expense (except maybe a staff pay rise that recognised the dirty conditions they faced).

What a fantastic data set. A huge undertaking much appreciated and excellent for research purposes. It makes the premature scrapping of the BR Standards very plain to see. A wasteful strategy, surely. By concentrating 999 Standards on, say, two main lines, then more rapid dieselisation and electrification could have gone ahead sooner elsewhere.... followed by full withdrawal of all Standards by 1985 (at around their 'normal life-expectancy')
