Didcot pioneers mobile GSMR

摘要

The great Western Society (GWS) has received derogation approval from the Railway Safety Standards Board (RSSB) to allow the use of a transportable GSMR (Global System for Mobile Communications Railway) unit when operating on Network Rail. Instead of having to fit a radio to each locomotive, it will now be possible for the unit to be shared between the society's main line registered operational fleet -currently 6023 King Edward Ⅱ and the Steam Railmotor No. 93 and in due course other restorations, such as 4079 Pendennis Castle and 2999 Lady of Legend, if and when they are approved for main line operation.
