Update 1293 16 September 2025

Advanced HOPS Railways - HOPS Library Some years ago we proposed a HOPS Library of useful documents for heritage railways. Unfortunately we didn't get it off the ground at the time, but the developments to the file uploading system for Operations, General and Department Documents has provided a good opportunity to use HOPS Library as a development ground. So here it is! https://www.hops.org.uk/library The HOPS Library is also in the Services menu. HOPS Library is available to Advanced HOPS subscribers only at this stage. At present HOPS Library contains resources relating to various parts of the HOPS system that we have published in the past. This enables us to start off small and address any errors or bugs in the new file system. We intend to increase the scope of the Library to all documents that may be of use to railways, not just those related to HOPS, particularly including traction and pway documents, and will be glad to receive these from railways who are willing to share. (You will see, as we have done in HOPS Resources, that we will make clear that the donor railway is not taking and responsibility for the user of their documents. https://www.hops.org.uk/library/competence ) If you have documents you are willing to share please do send them to admin@hops.org.uk (or provide a link to where they are stored on your HOPS and we will pick them up from there). We hope the new Library system is useful, and we look forward to rolling it out into the other document systems in HOPS. Thank you.
