  • The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line
    THE EVOLUTION OF TRAIN SERVICES ON THE MET AND GC LINE by Eric Stuart (Readers may find reference to the Four-Tracking article in the July 2018 issue of Underground News helpful) After the Great Central (GC) arrived at Quainton Road and the service south thereof became established, both the GC and the Metropolitan Railway (Met.) provided services. However, the personalities at the heads of the two companies did not enjoy the best of relationships. Matters came to a head when a GC train crashed when failing to reduce speed over the (then) reverse curve into Aylesbury station in 1904. About that time, both the leaders retired and a period of better relations between the companies began. On 2 April 1906, the Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway (MGCJR) was created. This latter took over the lines of the Metropolitan Railway north and west of Harrow South Junction, with the exception of the branch to Uxbridge. These included the main line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Verney Junction and the branch from Chalfont & Latimer to Chesham. The MGCJR was created under the terms of the Metropolitan & Great Central Railway Act, which received Royal Assent on 4 August 1905. At the same time, the Great Central and Great Western Joint Railway was formed, covering the lines south of Aylesbury via Princes Risborough to Northolt Junction. This was the result of a new line that aided the GC by partly avoiding congestion on the Met. and also giving the Great Western a shorter route to Birmingham1. One curiosity was that a Joint Committee was set up to manage a new Aylesbury station, jointly owned by two joint railways! Some points on terminology: The new line was commonly called just ‘The Joint Line’ and, even in later LT days, some staff still belonged to a particular class that made them feel superior to others2.

  • Introduction Railfuture Oxford to Cambridge (East West Rail)
    9th September 2013 Railfuture Oxford to Cambridge (East West Rail) campaign Briefing note on route options for the Central Section from Bedford to Cambridge Introduction The government and the Office of Rail Regulation have approved the upgrading and rebuilding of the railway between Oxford and Bedford, the Western Section of East West Rail. Railfuture is a long-term campaigner for the completion of the East West Rail project to Cambridge and into East Anglia. The Eastern Section of the route is already in use from Norwich and Ely to Cambridge via the soon to be opened Cambridge Science Park station; from Ipswich via Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket to Cambridge; and from Stansted Airport to Cambridge. Map 1: The East West Rail Link Between Bedford and Cambridge some of the original route is lost to development and population growth in the region has occurred away from the original stations. The question of corridor and route selection is therefore a key factor in making the case for the Bedford to Cambridge (Central) section of East West Rail. Railfuture is assessing the candidate corridors that have been identified by the East West Rail (EWR) Consortium. An early conclusion is that routes for possible approaches to the two nodes, Bedford and Cambridge, should be agreed and protected at an early stage, such is the pace of growth and development. Page 1 of 10 9th September 2013 Purpose The purpose of this document is to set out the options for EWR route options for the approach to Cambridge from the west. The options for Bedford will be covered by another document.

    JANUARY 2019 The Government has given Central Bedfordshire Council £1,976,000 extra cash to fix potholes CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Although CBC had promised to start repairing the High St in Autumn so far there is no action taking place and I intend to go back to the CBC for an explanation. It seems there are plans afoot to develop the site behind The Golden Bell and plans have been drawn up for presentation to CBC for planning permission. John Hartley, our previous Secretary and then Chairman passed away in the New Year after a battle with cancer, I vis- ited him regularly in his last months. He will be a great lose to The Society. I shall not be around for 1 month from 3rd January 2019 and John Sharp will Chair the meeting 24th January 2019. So I hope as many members as possible will attend to listen to Dr Brierley on Climate Change. Best wishes for a good New Year. Maurice Crowe Chairman The photo shows members watching Maurice present our petition to the Full Central Beds Council at their July meeting, at the start of our October Meeting. Andrew Selous at our November meeting stated that he is still on the case and apparently the gas board plans to dig up parts of The High Street is the hold up. 2 MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL We hope you have enjoyed the variety of presentations. Membership renewals are now due for those members who do not have a standing order, please let Mike know if you would like to pay by Standing Order.

  • Dear Sirs, A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon
    My ref: Your ref: Date: 12 June 2015 Contact: Direct dial: 01223 7175471 E Mail: [email protected] Office of Economy, Transport and Environment Services Executive Director, Graham Hughes Transport and Infrastructure Policy & Funding Box No: SH1310 Cambridgeshire County Council Shire Hall Castle Hill Cambridge CB3 0AP Dear Sirs, A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon – First Round of Questions Please find below the answers to the first round of questions asked of Cambridgeshire County Council, where Cambridgeshire County Council is able to provide an answer. In terms of the questions asked generally of “local authorities” relating to noise and air quality, the County Council refers the Examining Authority to the answers from the District Councils and City Council. Question Reference: Q1.1.17 Question: Dust from construction is identified as a significant effect which could be mitigated through best practice measures implemented via the Code of Construction Practice. If best practice measures are not followed by contractors or prove to be ineffective, what further action can be taken by local authorities to control these effects? Response: Compliance with the Code of Construction Practice (CoCP) is a Requirement (No 3) on the Secretary of State. The County Council is seeking a revision to this Requirement to secure consultation with local authorities in its development and of the CEMP and Local Environmental Management Plans, to ensure that the CoCP is an effective management tool. If Highways England fails to comply with a Requirement in the made DCO it becomes in the opinion of the County Council an enforceable matter under Part 8 of the Planning Act 2008.

  • A Market Town Plan for Ely
    Appendix 1 A Market Town Plan for Ely 1 Contents About this document 3 Introduction 4 A vision for Ely 5 Area of focus 1: Station gateway 15 Area of focus 2: City Centre 19 Area of focus 3: Connectivity 24 Implementation Plan 28 2 About this document This document has been commissioned by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA), working in partnership with East Cambridgeshire District Council. This Market Town Plan is a series of living documents, owned and updated by local partners including the District Council and the Combined Authority. The devolution deal which created the combined authority recognises the important role of market town economies in growing the wider Cambridgeshire and Peterborough economy. A masterplan for each of the eleven market towns across the region provides the opportunity to look at the unique features of each town, and offers deliverables which will benefit the immediate and wider economy. This Market Town Plan for Ely endorses Mayor James Palmer’s target for the combined authority region to double its Gross Value Added (GVA) over the next twenty-five years. To achieve this, market town economies must ‘do their bit’ – the interventions outlined in this document have been selected for the purpose of achieving this. We don’t expect everything in this document to be funded immediately. There are some quick wins where an injection of funding can get things moving. For other projects, we will need to spend time developing detailed plans and compelling investment cases before we can begin to leverage in funding. While the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) has funded this report, and is keen to invest in our city, we know we will need to build a coalition of supporters, including central government, to get some of the schemes detailed here delivered.
