Reduction in the emphasis on the McNulty rapport[edit]

Vast parts of this introduction to the McNulty rapport is about Network Rail - which is infrastructure and the maintenance of it. One-man operations on the other hand is solely about a practice used by train operation companies. The mention of Network rail can therefore be confusing to the reader.

The same is true about the mentioning of freight in this section, given the fact that McNulty doesn't recommend anything about one-man operations for freight companies - they all ready apply one-man operations. The reader can however be confused into believing this.

While I definitely appreciate the contributions made, certain parts of this introduction to the McNulty rapport belongs in a article on the McNulty Rapport itself.

It wasn't quite easy to cut the section out in "one clean cut" (in the lack of a better word) - sorry about the mess :-(.

The section reduced:

, —for the British government —including both passenger and freight- claiming that Network Rail was "30–50 per cent less efficient in terms of maintenance and renewals expenditure than comparable European railways(2011 & McNulty)."^[1] Their report

Safety[edit]

It would be good if somebody could add information to the article re safety records of one person operation. --82.38.135.178 (talk) 10:18, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Will ee what I can find - there is lots of emerging issues with DOO, focus appears to be shifting following the Jumperkine incident in Western Australia. there are also numerous issues referenced in New Zealand reports available form the Transport Accident Investigation Commission. The recent releases from the AAR in the US fail to address the inherent issues with DOO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8004:1640:10AB:CC80:E043:5380:DCB8 (talk) 04:05, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Missing table of contents?[edit]

This article doesn't seem to have a ToC but I'm not sure if there's a reason for that, and if not, how to add one. Selroh18 (talk) 09:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
