RT Rail
RT Rail was a small British railway spot-hire company, a subsidiary of Ealing Community Transport (ECT), that specialised in Class 08 shunting locomotives. It was sold in 2008 to British American Railway Services along with ECT's other rail assets. It is now part of the locomotive hire division of their subsidiary company, RMS Locotec.[1] Its fleet was available to hire to both industrial and railway operators. Customers included Bombardier Transportation at Ilford EMU Depot, Freightliner, First ScotRail at Inverness, and Silverlink. The company also owned two Class 73 locomotives, and a single Class 20 locomotive which was placed on loan to the Weardale Railway.

gollark: In terms of actual utility, it might be nice to have one of those RSS bots post new changes to the Encyclopaedia Galactica in a channel here, or forum topics or something.
gollark: I don't think they're very good, but they seem popular, possibly because it's an easy feature so lots of bots with useful capabilities have it and nobody bothers to disable that.
gollark: When you interact with a server a lot, it gives you arbitrary "levels".
gollark: I was joking: I don't actually believe that it's impossible for people to not want to use my thing. It's a bot I wrote for mostly personal use which does a few things I find valuable.
