Wires or pantograph down on NLL, 2 June 2010

They haven't got any money for any other means of traction, nor the
oil supplies!

Who is "they"?

Second time: Who is "they".

Third time: Who is "they"?

Of course Notwork Rail don't have to find the traction.

But ToCs can finds "the oil" pretty easily. It's down at around 2%
of the country's total petroleum product usage.

And unless the govt agrees to build a lot more nuclear power plants
real soon, then the electricity industry will continue to use about
40% of our fossil fuel allowance.

You are overlooking the argument used to stop the DMUP orders.

Probably, as that's geek-speak I don't recognise.

Please explain what it is and how it applies.

It's been explained to you here already. ROSCOs won't buy DMUs.

I can't get "ROSKO" into the ETLA you mentioned. But yes, I have heard
that under the previous government's policies the ROSKOs weren't happy
about the projected lifespan of new DMUs, and would therefore be
reluctant to acquire any new ones.

However, we have a different government now, new policy, electrification
cancelled, new electric traction at best postponed. Put those together,
and maybe they'll change their view - or maybe they'll be nationalised,
anything might happen.
