Now is the winsor of our discontent

The Salon des Refusés of those suitably qualified railway people who have applied for Network Rail public membership and been rejected is filling up nicely for 2008.

Whilst, as expected, Captain Deltic has been denied for the third time, Network Rail seems to be reverting to aversion therapy to deter others.

One highly qualified applicant, who was rejected last year, was personally invited by Network Rail to apply this year - only to be turned-down again.

Network Rail refuses to give specific reasons for individual rejections.

Is this legal?

Are any of Railway Eye's m'learned friends up for a pro-bono judicial review?
