Preserved main line steam locomotive support in the United Kingdom

The support coach and crew are an essential part of the long distance operation of preserved steam locomotives in the United Kingdom on the main line network, as opposed to their use on heritage railways. Since main line steam operation ended in 1968, the static infrastructure and paid staff required to support steam locomotive operation no longer exists, requiring the use of support coaches and crews to travel with the locomotive. The crews are made up of volunteers from locomotive preservation societies, or in the case of operational main line certified locomotives of the National Collection, from their permanent custodians. The support crew supplements the three-man professional train crew consisting of the engine driver, fireman and traction inspector, who are employed by the train operating company for charter trains and railtours.
==Support crew==
The support crew usually comprises volunteers, and will often have to travel long distances just to assemble, before carrying out their duties on the locomotive. Support crews will usually number around half a dozen people, and depending on their roles, will often include either professional railwaymen, or volunteers or employees of steam heritage railways.
A typical commitment of a support crew's time is 100 hours for 5 hours of actual train running, although commitments of up to 7 days are not unknown. Support crew members are required to obtain a Personal Track Safety (PTS) certificate, before being allowed to be part of a support crew. The PTS is not however, a general trackside access permit when not operating as part of a support crew.
