BDR Operations 12 Oct 23

 Hi All, 

In the absence of the BDR Media Manager I (Craig) was asked to complete the Report on Operations from the 12th October 2023. 

Crew 

Train Control - Geoff

BorderDowns - Ray

Mainline Operators - Steve, Tony and Craig

Report

As you can see from the list a usual operator on the BDR was not present. Ron was missed, however, and not sure if this was coincidental but everything went smoothly with no mishaps, no late running, no incidents and no derailments. All operators were extremely efficient throughout the session, with exceptionally timely departures (some trains even left early, with Train Control permission of course). Bronze stars turned to Gold stars and each operator could have received one. Mrs Kerfops even appeared satisfied with the railway operations.  Here ends the report!!

***Addendum 1 to the report. It was mutually agreed that Ron gets the 'Johnny' Award for the evening***

***Addendum 2 to the report.  Lots of shunting took place throughout the session and this was completely very effectively. 

All up, it was a great session, enjoyed by all. Everyone involved certainly deserves a pay rise, considering the absolute efficiency.
