   • 2023 August 9, Nick Brodrick, “'Jacobite' services halted over "safety failures"”, in RAIL, number 989, page 14:

     […] Due to the safety issues identified, ORR has revoked WCRCL's Exemption Certificate. […] WCR-operated charter trains are unaffected by the revocation, which RAIL understands nominally runs until November, immediately after the 'Jacobite' season is due to end on October 27. The 'Jacobite' is treated separately because it is a timetabled service rather than a charter.
