Irish Railways & Channel Islands IRISH RAILWAYS & Channel Islands (Stations, Locos and rolling stock) LENS OF SUTTON ASSOCIATION List 5 (Issue 3 September 2012) Class J26 0-6-0T No. GSR 551, ex MGWR No. 106 at Broadstone c1930s (66761) LOSA List 5 Irish Railways Page 1 IRISH RAILWAYS & CHANNEL ISLANDS Grouping of the Irish railways was impeded by civil war and partition. All lines situated wholly within Northern Ireland became part of the LMS while, by 1925, all lines situated wholly within the Irish Free State had become part of the Great Southern Railways. However, cross-border lines such as the Great Northern Railway (Ireland), which crossed the border in one or more places, remained "un-grouped" and, in this anomalous condition, they remained in operation as independent undertakings for many years. The following list of photographs from the Lens of Sutton Collection is, where appropriate, arranged by Pregrouping company. Most photographs date from the GSR period, although a minority are from the Pregrouping or CIE/UTA eras. Note for issue 3 This catalogue contains about 200 new views in addition to those listed in Issue 2. These are numbered in the 62XXX, 63XXX, 64XXX, 667XX, 69XXX, and 85XXX series.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Reflections on Rent-Seeking in Ireland and Its Bus Industry
    12 Barrett article.qxp_Admin 66-1 19/02/2018 17:40 Page 129 Administration, vol. 66, no. 1 (2018), pp. 129–146 doi: 10.2478/admin-2018-0012 Reflections on rent-seeking in Ireland and its bus industry Sean Barrett Economics Department, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Introduction Rent-seeking is the lobbying of government in order to achieve tax reductions, subsidies and restrictions on competition. O’Leary (2015) has argued that the theory of rent-seeking has the potential for explaining Ireland’s long-term growth from the 1950s to the present day. This paper reflects on the destructive effects of rent-seeking in Ireland as a whole and in its bus industry in particular. The next section outlines the pervasiveness of the problem as set out in the Culliton report (1992). This is followed by a section considering rent- seeking in Irish transport in general and in the bus industry in particular before the 1980s. The following sections deal with developments in that industry from the 1980s to 2010, the impacts in the bus industry of the liberalisations following the Swords Express case in 2010, and the need for reforms in Ireland’s public institutions. The final section widens the discussion again to rent-seeking in other sectors in the present day. The pervasiveness of the problem The extent of rent-seeking in the Irish economy was noted in the Culliton report of 1992, which examined the causes of an under - 129 12 Barrett article.qxp_Admin 66-1 19/02/2018 17:40 Page 130 130 SEAN BARRETT performing economy at that time.

In recent times, unknown to the Editor, the magazine was entered in a competition whereby it was submitted to the scrutiny of editors, etc., of the national railway press.

One of the panel’s criticisms was that the pages did not have a 2-column layout and that some were comprised solely of text.

  • Ierland – Kleiner Umschlag – Große Fülle Von Irish Steam Zufallsfund Auf Niederländischem Flohmarkt
    Ierland – Kleiner Umschlag – große Fülle von Irish Steam Zufallsfund auf niederländischem Flohmarkt Wenn nicht ein freundlicher Händler auf den Inhalt eines zerknitterten kleinen alten Briefumschlags aufmerksam gemacht hätte, das vergilbte Couvert mit der niederländischen Aufschrift „Ierland“ wäre wohl liegengeblieben. Doch siehe da: Es enthielt 35 historische Photos im Kleinformat zwischen 6x8,5 und 6,5x9 cm. Zudem waren fast alle sehr sorgfältig beschrieben mit Loknummer, Ort und Datum. Darüber hinaus wurden teilweise sogar Wetterbedingungen, Betriebswerksatmosphäre, Belichtungszeit und Blende aufgezeichnet. Nur sehr selten zog es Photographen – falls sie nicht aus GB oder von der Insel selbst stammten - zum irischen Eisenbahnnetz, erst recht in den Jahren unmittelbar vor und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die privaten Photos entstanden zwischen 1937 und 1947. Die Bildqualität ist sehr unterschiedlich, von Aufnahmen mit Gegenlicht, abgeschnittenen Tendern und anderen Details bis hin zu schön erleuchteten Lokportraits. Beim Lokomotivbau in Irland kam man über Zwei- und Dreikuppler nicht hinaus. Der Dampfbetrieb dauerte bei der CIÉ = Córas Iompair Éireann 1945-1963 für die Spurweite 5-3 ft.-in. und 1945-1960 für die Spurweite 3-0 ft.-in. Einige wenige Maschinen blieben für die Zukunft erhalten. Das Schienennetz im Süden wie im Norden Irland hat sich seit den 1950er Jahren sehr stark dezimiert. © P. Dr. D. Hörnemann, Eisenbahnmuseum Alter Bahnhof Lette, www.bahnhof-lette.de, Seite 1 von 24 Hier nun Einblicke in den Dampfbetrieb der 1930er und 1940er Jahre: Lok „Argadeen“ in Cork am 05.06.1938, 2-6-0T, umgebaut von der GSR 1929, Sie gehörte zur T&CLR Timoleague & Courtmacsherry Railway (1890-1924). Zur Zeit der Auslieferung im Jahre 1894 war die Lokomotive, Werksnummer 611, typisch für eine Bauart zu Verwendung auf nicht eingezäunten Strecken, insbesondere in einem Gebiet, in dem Vieh gehalten wird und hauptsächlich Pferdewagen oder sogar Packpferde den lokalen Gütertransport besorgten.

  • Bus Deregulation in Ireland
    BUS DEREGULATION IN IRELAND Sean D. Barrett FTCD Trinity College Dublin Published in response to A New Institutional and Regulatory Framework for Public Transport (Department of Public Enterprise, August 2000). 1 THE POLICY CONTEXT. Since 1932 Ireland has had a policy of eliminating competition in bus transport. Similar policies were adopted in relation to road freight from 1933 to 1988, air transport from 1935 to 1986 and taxis from 1978 to 2000. Table 1 shows the transfer of 1098 independent bus services to the designated statutory transport companies between 1933 and 1941. TABLE 1: Voluntary (V) and Compulsory (C) Transfers of Independent Bus Services to Statutory Transport Companies, 1933-1941.

Note: In addition to the 1082 services above transferred to the three main statutory transport companies there were 16 transfers to the remaining railway companies comprising 10 in 1934, 3 in 1935 and 3 in 1938. The total of services transferred was therefore 1098 over the years 1933-1941. There were no transfers in 1939 to the three large companies above.
