Welcome to the RossRail web site. Warning: www.rossrail.co.uk is currently pointing to Clive's web site. This will be fixed as soon as I have time. For now this is the official location.
RossRail is the TOC for the 21st century. We put the fun back into the privatised railway (and the Deltics back on the track). RossRail is the only railway company where the staff know what it's like at the bleeding edge.
Anything you read here may be true. Sometimes only the names have been changed to protect the still-employed.
There are times when the railway is its own worst enemy. For example, consider the simple question of how to get from A to B. Shouldn't be hard? Now read the amazing routeing question in six parts (of course, the RossRail Routeing Guide reads "It's valid if I say it is and not otherwise"). Clive has now done an analysis of routeing which led to the new part five.
Our Man Up Front explains Route Knowledge; so does Our High Speed Correspondent.
Plus some odds 'n' ends from the real railway.
Sometimes the truth is so unbelievable that we have to dress it up with whimsy. See for yourself! Try Customer Service for Conductors - a test paper.
If that's too hard, just read a few extracts from the RossRail Rulebook.
From time to time trains expose a sense of wittiness [or at least half of it - Ed.]. We have the Ross & Eric show, plus our first software release: SimUGuard.
Meanwhile, with the planned privatization of London Underground, RossRail's London Division is preparing their bid.
For those uk.railway readers wondering what on earth all this "RossRail" stuff is, well, I'll wait until somebody else writes an explanation I like. But think of RossRail as the railway company that embodies the railway we'd all like to see.
This site will be growing and growing over the next few months. But for now, let me leave you in the hands of the trusty RossRail staff.
RossRail - We don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
