The Office of Rail and Road has today (March 23) lifted the Prohibition Notice that was imposed on West Coast Railway Company (WCR) on February 17. The notice, which had been in place for five weeks, prevented the operator from running any services on the main line, owing to the regulators concerns about WCRs management of safety following a number of incidents over the past year.
