The Jacobite train service is awaiting a verdict on whether it can continue operating in its current state.The railway is often known as the "Hogwarts Express", a nod to the train in the fictional series which takes pupils from London King's Cross station to the magical school in the Scottish Highlands.West Coast Railways has had to suspend the service as it awaits a ruling from the Office of Rail and Road on whether it can continue to operate with hinged-door carriages.
WCR has submitted an application to renew the exemption, and made a request for a temporary exemption to operate while the ORR makes its decision. WCR lost a High Court challenge against the ORR over the safety of doors on its carriages in December.The company had complained that the multimillion-pound cost of having to retrofit central locking could "destroy" its business and it argued its door systems were just as safe.
