Like Jamie's, but p-way stuff (thanks to TheSlash and his rulebooks for his past teachings on various trips to Kent and back).

ES = Engineering Supervisor | djw1981
PTS = Personal Track Safety | Oreo
CAC =
COSS = Controller of Site Safety | djw1981
PICOP = Person In Charge of Possession | Meld
RIMINI = Risk Minimisation | LeSeandre

Isn't that a place in Wales?

ES = Engineering Supervisor

 

[laseandre]

RIMINI - Risk Minimisation

 

[Aureol]

PTS = Personal Track Safety | Oreo

You barstard!

 

[Dennis]

CAC = the brown stuff sometimes found between the rails; often associated with bog roll.

 

[Coxster]

CAC = the brown stuff sometimes found between the rails

Not quite what I had in mind

often associated with bog roll.

By often, you mean sometimes not associated with toilet paper? Lovely....

 

[TheSlash]

Just found this.
Rimini RT9909
Even i am stuck for CAC though, and i taught him it! {allegedly}

 

[TheSlash]

Let's try some more
BSE Bridge Strike Engineer
BSN Bridge Strike Nominee
RDN Rail Defect Nominee
RSA Route Setting Agemt
TRK IND
(P)SPICOP (AF)
ARM Assest Recovery Manager
COSS (T)
AP OLE/AC-i
TVP Track Visitor Permit
ETM
E&P
TME
PTO Principle Technical Officer
PLB Possession Limit Board

Over to you, Coxster, as the man who knows all the answers

 

[Coxster]

You never taught me any of those ones, and I don't remember coming across them in your glovebox rulebooks. So yeah, don't look at me, right?

Although that said, TVP = Thames Valley Police. You cannot deny that

Could TRK IND possibly be some sort of Track Indicator

 

[Mintona]

BSE - Bury St. Edmunds???

 

[mbonwick]

PICOP
Person In Charge Of Possession ?

 

[Coxster]

PICOP
Person In Charge Of Possession ?

That was in mine. Steve's is '(P)SPICOP (AF)' which seems to have more to it.

 

[mbonwick]

Time to get searching the RAIB site, methinks
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
COSS (T) Controller Of Site safety (track)?
ARM Asset Recovery Manager ?
PLB Possesion Limitation Board?
PTO Principle Technical Officer
BSN Bridge Strike Nominee
RDN Rail Defect Nominee

Any of those right?

 

[DavyCrocket]

CAC= Competence Assurance Controller?

 

[TheSlash]

Incorrect answers in bold. I'm surprised you got ARM, though.
Everyone else wrong

 

[Coxster]

Maybe a Trainee Controller of Site Safety?

 

[TheSlash]

Nope.

I'll swap you one of your choice for CAC

 

[Coxster]

I'll swap you one of your choice for CAC

No - I would never make a deal with you You should know that by now

 

[TheSlash]

Fair enough. Going by other guesses, i bet you've looked at a job and thought you could work out the acrynome for it

 

[me123]

CAC = Cessation and Cancellation? (Complete guess)

 

[Coxster]

Fair enough. Going by other guesses, i bet you've looked at a job and thought you could work out the acrynome for it

Well, my source material for CAC says it stands for the Contractor's Assurance Case. This same source states TVP is a Track Visitors Permit.

 

[TheSlash]

TVP is correct
First time i've heard CAC, more of a boardroom term, which tells me who told you it

 

[Coxster]

First time i've heard CAC, more of a boardroom term, which tells me who told you it

Who might that be then?

 

[TheSlash]

Sean

 

[Coxster]

Sean?

 

[Broken Viking]

Hmmm...Let's see if I can get a few of these right. They're mainly "educated" guesses though...

CAC = Corrective Action Contractor, or Caution Advisory Computer (Best matches),
BSE = Bridge and Structural Engineer, or Building Services Equipment,
RSA = Railway Signal/Supply/Study Association,
TRK IND = Track Current Indicator Device? (A.K.A. TCID; Used mainly on LuL),
CoSS = Controller of Site Safety (Train) - Emphesis on the "Train" part,
AP OLE/AC-i = Approved Person, Overhead Line Electrification/Alternating Current-installations.

Bottom one is correct
COSS is right, but what does the 'T' stand for?
