Had the Tangmere charter ran a minute early (90 seconds I think it was) it would've had a FGW HST plough into the side of it at linespeed. This with various other safety concerns (such as official documentation regarding safety-critical workers' duties and responsibilities plus concerns about driver assessments for example) left Network Rail with no chance to let it slide before something serious happened.
Yes it's a shame WCRC aren't operating but I think a multiple fatality disaster would be much more of a shame, especially if it could've been easily avoided.
That explains everything to me, thanks Sean!
