But if RYR take such a view it's extremely short sighted, at the moment RYR are at the bottom of the pile as far as CC and Customer Staff are concerned and this must be reflected in the quality of the product they provide.
As a major player RYR are less than 10 years old and only just over 20 years in existence, eventually they are going to run into problems either from another new or 'improved' loco (if RYR can do it so can others) or from a safety issue. RYR operate so many aircraft nowadays that the law of averages dictates that eventually a problem will occur. If, God forbid, they do have an accident the spotlight will shine very brightly because of the perceived shortcuts they take in some areas.
