J. MULLAY Creating the ‘Big Four’ in 1923 “The Grouping was unnecessary, its conception flawed, its planning muddled, and its execution clumsy.” That’s the controversial conclusion reached in this new publication from Pendragon Publishing, the first history of the 1923 Grouping to be published in book form for many years. Lavishly illustrated, this book explores why the idea of compact, zonal, railway groups quickly emerged as something quite different, with new rival companies having no territorial rights, and with competition and duplication of routes remaining unchanged. Employing a blend of official archives, personal memoirs and contemporary publications – from The Times to the Boy’s Own Paper – this 0 unprecedented development in Britain’s transport £17.5 history is subjected to clinical examination.

No.8 No. 352 AUGUST 2020 RECORDING THE HISTORY OF BRITAIN’S RAILWAYS The Department of Administrative Affairs returns to work Another month on from the start of the current ‘situation’ and amongst the difficulties we’ve been experiencing one reassuring feature has been the arrival of new contributions to the magazine – and moreover some of them from new contributors. I’m all too aware of the problem of obtaining photographs from many sources whose collections can’t be physically accessed at the moment – but that will be possible again if we are patient. Other articles arrive often lavishly illustrated with real prints from the writer’s collection or with images downloaded from home sites and so one way or another we keep the presses rolling. Thanks, again, to you readers who have been so encouraging in your support, not least to all those of you – indeed a good many of you – who have swelled the ranks of subscribers in such numbers. I’m appreciative also to those of you who have bought issues of contemporary date direct from this office, though in fact it was never intended that readers should do so each month. The idea was that having bought your ‘catch-up’ copy you would proceed to make your own arrangement to ensure your regular supply by taking out at least one of our short-term subscriptions, if not a yearly one, as offered by Warners Group who manage our subscription service and will be happy to help you on the dedicated Backtrack line 01778 392024. This is by far the best way to obtain your copy of Backtrack for as little as £4.25 monthly; the stocks of the magazine are limited and recent ones have always sold out, but the print run will always provide for the subscription magazines direct from the printers and I would urge you to adopt this course of action. With more retail outlets reopening, the August issue will therefore be the last to be available for direct sale at cover price, so now is clearly the time to move to receiving your copies by subscription. Sales from this office, from a reduced quantity of stock, will thenceforth be at the back issue rate of £5.50 to include postage.

  • The Carrying Trade and the First Railways in England, C1750-C1850
    The Carrying Trade and the First Railways in England, c1750-c1850 Carolyn Dougherty PhD University of York Railway Studies November 2018 Abstract Transport and economic historians generally consider the change from moving goods principally on roads, inland waterways and coastal ships to moving them principally on railways as inevitable, unproblematic, and the result of technological improvements. While the benefits of rail travel were so clear that most other modes of passenger transport disappeared once rail service was introduced, railway goods transport did not offer as obvious an improvement over the existing goods transport network, known as the carrying trade. Initially most railways were open to the carrying trade, but by the 1840s railway companies began to provide goods carriage and exclude carriers from their lines. The resulting conflict over how, and by whom, goods would be transported on railways, known as the carrying question, lasted more than a decade, and railway companies did not come to dominate domestic goods carriage until the 1850s. In this study I develop a fuller picture of the carrying trade than currently exists, highlighting its multimodal collaborative structure and setting it within the ‘sociable economy’ of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England. I contrast this economy with the business model of joint-stock companies, including railway companies, and investigate responses to the business practices of these companies. I analyse the debate over railway company goods carriage, and identify changes in goods transport resulting from its introduction. Finally, I describe the development and outcome of the carrying question, showing that railway companies faced resistance to their attempts to control goods carriage on rail lines not only from the carrying trade but also from customers of goods transport, the government and the general public.

  • Senedd Petition Response 17:02:20
    Lôn Las Môn For the attention of Mr Ross Davies Dirprwy Glerc, Y Pwyllgor Deisebau, Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru Deputy Clerk, Petitions Committee, National Assembly for Wales P-05-913 - Pwyllgor Deisebau 21.01.20 / Petitions Committee 21.01.20 Date 17th February 2020 Dear Sirs, Madam We would like to respond as follows to the letters & enclosures from Isle of Anglesey Council & Mr Ken Skates AM as follows: 1. Letters from Isle of Anglesey Chief Executive Annwen Morgan, Huw Percy Head of Highways are rather disappointing as they do not even offer an opinion as to the merits or not of the creation of a Multiuse Path across the island & the potential benefits it could bring, from health, fitness, disabled & adaptive cycling & many other uses other than just tourism, which at best the Heritage Railway can only offer a very narrow benefit to the island. It is rather at odds that the Anglesey Local Access Forum (a subcommittee of the Council) who we presented our scheme to in November which gave Lôn Las Môn a unanimous vote of approval. As have three Community Councils along its route. As this is a scheme to be run by Lôn Las Môn CIC, we are not looking for Isle of Anglesey to run or manage the project, we just need their support and not to oppose clearly what would be a benefit to the island and a whole. 2. We are aware of the consultation between Network Rail & the Welsh Government on the proposed lease of the railway in June 2016 with an associated 3 month rolling termination provision.

  • US Army Railroad Course Railway Track Maintenance II TR0671
    SUBCOURSE EDITION TR0671 1 RAILWAY TRACK MAINTENANCE II Reference Text (RT) 671 is the second of two texts on railway track maintenance. The first, RT 670, Railway Track Maintenance I, covers fundamentals of railway engineering; roadbed, ballast, and drainage; and track elements--rail, crossties, track fastenings, and rail joints. Reference Text 671 amplifies many of those subjects and also discusses such topics as turnouts, curves, grade crossings, seasonal maintenance, and maintenance-of-way management. If the student has had no practical experience with railway maintenance, it is advisable that RT 670 be studied before this text. In doing so, many of the points stressed in this text will be clarified. In addition, frequent references are made in this text to material in RT 670 so that certain definitions, procedures, etc., may be reviewed if needed. i THIS PAGE WAS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. ii CONTENTS Paragraph Page INTRODUCTION................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER 1.

  • 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.

  • Newsletter of Railfuture in Wales
    Issue 64 Spring 2018 Rail Wales Newsletter of Railfuture in Wales A sign of the changing times: a HST 125 enters Cardiff Central in January 2018 shortly after the first electrification masts had been installed. By the end of 2018 the new bi mode trains supplied by Hitachi should have replaced the 40-year-old HSTs on the Swansea-London route. Photo: Julian Langston Rail Wales issue 64 Spring 2018 www.railfuturewales.org.uk Page 1 WELCOME Rail Wales is published every six months and looking back at events since the last issue, it sometimes seems that the fast pace of significant news would require a weekly issue to keep Railfuture members up to date with the ever-evolving rail scene. Needless to say, the ongoing saga of the letting of the Wales and Borders franchise provides the main focus of attention. Shortly before the last issue of Rail Wales appeared, Arriva announced that it was withdrawing from the bidding process. This reduced the bidders to three. However, the withdrawal of a second bidder in February 2018 was not as a result of that company (Abellio) deciding to walk away but as a result of the financial collapse of its civil engineering partner, Carillion. The two bidders still standing are Keolis and MTR. With only two companies now competing, this weakens the hand of Transport for Wales (the organisation set up by the Welsh Government to undertake the selection of the new operator) to obtain the best outcome. It is hoped that the ongoing discussions, which are nearing conclusion, will result in a franchise award which provides existing and potential new rail users in Wales and adjacent areas of England with a markedly improved service in terms of service frequency, reliability, comfort and value for money.
