'Rollout the Vaccines!' Issue Date – 1St February 2021 ISSUE Number 74 ‘Rollout the Vaccines!’ st WATFORD BRANCH NEWSLETTER Issue Date – 1 February 2021 From the Chairman elcome to this month’s issue of the Watford Branch Newsletter, the first month of 2021 having already passed W and Spring on the horizon, though it looks likely there is still some bad weather to come. Sadly, as predicted in January’s Newsletter, we only had a few days of relative ‘freedom’ before being plunged into the third lockdown, and still no end of this in sight. At least the Covid vaccination rollout seems to be going quite well, arguments with the EU notwithstanding, so some of you may have already had your first ‘jab’, and some even your second, as many of our members are amongst the first groups in line for inoculation. Your committee hopes that everyone remains safe and well and that you are all able to make the most of your enforced ‘spare’ time! As there is still little indication of anything resembling a return to something akin to ‘normal’, we will be continuing to hold our monthly branch meetings virtually, via Zoom, as per usual on the first Tuesday of each month, February’s presentation being by David Boot with ‘Ramblings of a Head Station Master’ on the 2nd. January’s meeting was the obligatory Branch AGM and instead of the traditional ‘Members’ Presentations’ following that we had a wonderful show by Rob Freeman – ‘Gems from The Casserley Photo Collection’. AGMs are not generally well-attended, especially when the weather has been poor in past years, but there were fifty-nine participants on this occasion. However, branch members were outnumbered by visitors and guests, who waited patiently for the formalities to be gone through, this taking up the first thirty minutes or so. Apart from the usual reports from Branch Officers and so on, your current committee was re-elected unanimously en bloc as all were willing to continue in their roles. The formal part of the meeting was recorded as an ‘aide memoire’ for the minutes. We then launched into Rob’s showing of photos from the Casserley collection and we were soon spellbound with scenes of Streamlined ‘Coronations’ around Berkhamsted before moving on to more distant parts of the country. There is a full report of the evening on the Watford Branch pages of the RCTS website at: https://rcts.org.uk/watford/meeting-reports/ Many thanks to Rob Freeman for a very entertaining evening and also to Mary Casserley for allowing Rob to show the photos to us.

Photo Copyright © H C Casserley, by kind permission of Mary Casserley. A query from member Ken Gordon, prior to the AGM starting, concerned the accessibility of Devons Road MPD and Bow Works of the North London Railway – how far apart were they and was it possible to visit in years gone by? This elicited several replies on the night and has also inspired two of our members to respond more fully. Malcolm Grant sent some information with regard to a book on the subject and Michael Reade has produced a wonderful article (and photos) about his visits there in the 1940s and 50s. These appear later in the Newsletter and many thanks for those items. If anyone wants to know more about the North London Railway, the RCTS Thames Valley Branch has a Zoom presentation on the subject coming up on Tuesday 16th March 2021 at 19:30, by Murray Lewis. A Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with The Charities Commission. Registered number 1169995. If you are planning to join any of the Zoom meetings, there is now a new way of pre-registering for them, directly on the RCTS website at: https://rcts.org.uk/branches/ and scroll down to ‘Virtual Meetings’ to see all branches’ meetings. These also appear on the home page. You will need to be logged-in as a member to access the links, these are also on the relevant branch events page, such as this one on the Watford Branch page: https://rcts.org.uk/watford/events/ If you are already a member but haven’t registered on the site it’s advisable to do so – if you run into any problems, please contact David Jackman at: [email protected] If you are a non-member or visitor you are very welcome to join the meetings – please contact Rob Davidson at [email protected] for details, or the relevant officer of the branch concerned. You may notice that there is now a ‘donations are welcome’ link on the events pages of the branches too – this takes you to a PayPal page where you can donate in units of £2.00 – you do not need to have a PayPal account and other payment options are also available. Any donations go to the branch concerned, via ‘Head Office’, and will help to defray costs, some of which continue even though we cannot have physical meetings, meaning the usual source of donations has dried-up. Thanks to those of you who have already made donations to the branch. A considerable number of branches are now holding their meetings via ‘Zoom’ – this means that on some nights there is a clash and choices have to be made – this is due to most branches continuing to hold their meetings on their traditional night – this was not a concern when meetings were physical in different parts of the country but is becoming something of a problem when anyone from anywhere can join any meeting. These potential problems have already prompted the RCTS Surrey Branch to move their virtual meetings from Tuesdays to Thursdays. If you haven’t joined one of these meetings as yet, perhaps through worries about the technology, there is a simple guide available on the RCTS website (thanks to Jeremy Harrison of the Croydon & South London Branch) which can be accessed at: https://rcts.org.uk/croydon/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2020/07/Zoom-Simple-Meeting- Instructions_V3.pdf there is no need to be logged-in as a member in order to read this guide. You will be made most welcome at a meeting and helped out if you still have queries or misgivings. We look forward to seeing you all, members, non-members, visitors, and guests! Many thanks to David Jackman for setting-up and running these meetings on everyone’s behalf. Next month’s meeting by Zoom, on Tuesday 2nd March 2021 at 19:30, will be another of Bernie Holland’s presentations, this one entitled ‘This is Luxury I Can’t Afford’, covering Pullman Trains and other ‘Posh-Ex’ workings and promises to be another treat. We have the usual mix of articles in this Newsletter, mostly from the same authors, though with some welcome additions. Rob Freeman brings us more from Australia and you will also find the answers to the photo quiz submitted by James Milne in the January edition – I hope you will have done well in working these out! Included is the last part of Humphrey Gillott’s articles on Open Days around the country – and also the first of another series from Humphrey. Once again, many thanks to all the contributors this time. Also as usual is the reminder that if you have any material you would like to submit, please do get in contact with me at [email protected] – thanks in anticipation.

This class of 40 1500 dc electric locos was built by Metropolitan Vickers/Beyer, Peacock at their Bowesfield Works in Stockton-on- Tees in 1956-58 with experience gained from building the EM1s and EM2s, so they were cousins of our Woodhead locos.

  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
    The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.

Recent Dock Extensions at Liverpool, with a General Description of the MerseyDock Estate,the Port of Liverpool,and the RiverMersey.” By GEORGEFOSBERY LYSTER, M. Inst. C.E. THEspecial characteristics of theRiver Mersey, theimportant positionwhich Liverpool occupies among theleading trading centres of the world, and the rapid development of its commerce are, each and all, so interesting to engineers, that in submitting a Paper descriptive of the most recent dock extensions carried out in the port, the Author has been induced to touch upon each of these points, as a fitting preamble to the more formal and precise description of the special works which form the leading features of the Paper. Few, if any, localities, inthis country at all events, are so favourably situatedfor the construction of a comprehensive system of docks as that of Liverpool, not onlyby reason of its geographical position on the seaboard of the country, with its unrivalled water frontage, but also on account of its proximity to the great manu- faeturing districts, as well as to the coal and mineral fields of the North of England and Wales, with which it is linked by railways and canals, which aresuch important factors in thedevelopment and maintenance of successful trading.

  • The Great Western Railway and the Celebration of Englishness
    THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES I.R.S. OCTOBER 2000 THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS ALAN DAVID BENNETT M.A. D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF YORK INSTITUTE OF RAILWAY STUDIES OCTOBER 2000 ABSTRACT This thesis identifies the literary work of the Great Western Railway as marking a significant contribution to the discourse of cultural representation over the first four decades of the twentieth century and particularly so for the inter-war era. The compa- ny's work is considered in the context of definitive and invariably complex cultural per- spectives of its day, as mediated through the examination of the primary literature, com- pany works and other related sources, together with the historiographical focus of latter- day analysis. G.W.R. literary perspectives - historical, political, commercial-industrial and aesthetic - are thus compared and contrasted with both rival and convergent repre- sentations and contextualised within the process of historical development and ideolog- ical differentiations. Within this perspective of inter-war society, the G.W.R. literature is considered according to four principal themes: the rural-traditional representation and related his- torical-cultural identification in the perceived sense of inheritance and providential mis- sion; the company's extensive industrial interests, wherein regional, national and inter- national perspectives engaged a commercial-cultural construction of Empire; the 'Ocean Coast' imagery - the cultural formulation of the seashore in terms of a taxonomy of landscapes and resorts according to the structural principles of protocol, expectation and clientele and, finally, that of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic cultural characterisations with its agenda of ethnicity and gender, central in the context of this work to the definition of Englishness and community.

  • Chronological List of the Railways of Lancashire, 1828-1939
    CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF THE RAILWAYS OF LANCASHIRE, 1828-1939 BY M. D. GREVILLE In addition to previously published data, I have consulted official and Rail­ way Clearing House records, local and railway press, and Bradshaw's Manual. There is often a bewildering discrepancy in dates in railway records, especially the older ones. Every effort has been made to establish the correct dates, and when this has not been possible from contemporary references, I have shown the ones which, taking all circumstances into consideration, seem the most likely to be accurate. Closing of lines and withdrawal of passenger services are noted only up to the outbreak of war in September 1939. The closing dates given are those for the last days on which trains ran. The railways have been grouped under the following headings and subheadings: 1 LONDON, MIDLAND & SCOTTISH RAILWAY A London & North Western Railway and Components B Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and Components C Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and London & North Western Railway Joint Lines D Midland Railway and Components E Furness Railway and Components F Furness and Midland Joint Line G Knott End Railway 2 LONDON & NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY AND COMPONENTS 3 VARIOUS AND INTER-GROUP JOINT LINES A London & North Western Railway and Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway Joint Lines B Cheshire Lines Committee C Sheffield & Midland Joint Lines D Mersey Railway E Liverpool Overhead Railway 1. LONDON, MIDLAND & SCOTTISH RAILWAY A. LONDON & NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY [Formed 16.7.1846 by amalgamation of Grand Junction, Man­ chester & Birmingham and London & Birmingham Railways.
