No, not by Network Rail at least in this case - definition of "their":
Cambridge Dictionary:
1. of or belonging to them
2. used to refer to one person in order to avoid saying "his or her"
Collins English Dictionary:
1. You use their to indicate that something belongs or relates to the group of people, animals,
2. You use their instead of `his or her' to indicate that something belongs or relates to a person without saying whether that person is a man or a woman.

The RMT put out an advent calendar one year but no one could agree who should open the doors.

A Geordie, a Scouser and a Cockney are standing at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter.
God turns up and asks them all the same question, " What have you bought with you that has anything to do with Christmas ?"
The Geordie pulls out a lighter and says " something to light the candles"
"Ok " says God.
The Scouser waves a bunch of keys in the air to make a jangling sound " Jingle bells"?
"Ok" says God
The Cockney fumbles about his pockets and pulls out a pair of knickers " What's that then " says God ,
" Oh they're Carols mate "

Englishman, Scotsman and Irishman go to the Olympics but don't have tickets.
The Englishman say, 'I know what to do'. He goes to a sports shop, pinches a pair of running spikes, goes to the competitors' entrance and says to the chap on the gate, 'Smith, England, 100metres sprint'.
Ok says the chap on the gate. In goes the Englishman.
The Scotsman catches on, goes to the castle and finds a canon ball. At the competitors' entrance he tells the gatekeeper, 'McTavish, Scotland, shot putt'. In he goes.
The Irishman follows suit and goes to a nearby building site. There he picks up a roll of wire. At the competitors' entrance he says, 'Murphy, Ireland, fencing'.

For me it goes back to 1972……
I know it’s a bit obsessive compulsive but it’s slowly getting used up. 3 inch diameter log of English Boxwood was 24 inch long now down to about 10 inches!

I think it's this, going from the number. The 1082.01 was an Austrian electric locomotive for operation with 15 kV catenary voltage at 16 2 ⁄ 3 Hertz, built in 1931. It was equipped with a rotating phase converter and DC traction motors.
