PDF-139-1 2 The Trolleybus - A Brief History 1911-1972 The trolleybus dates back to 29th April 1882, when Dr. Ernst Werner Siemens demonstrated his "Elektromote" in a Berlin suburb, with the experiment continuing until 13th June 1882, after which developments in Europe waned. Max Schiemann opened the world's fourth passenger carrying trolleybus system on 10th July 1901, which operated at Bielathal (Biela Valley, near Dresden), in Germany. Schiemann is credited with developing the under-running trolley current collection system with two horizontally parallel overhead wires and rigid trolleypoles spring- loaded to hold them up to the wires. Although this system operated only until 1904, Schiemann had developed what was to become the standard trolleybus current collection system. Interest in 'Trackless Trolley Systems' in Britain started in the early 1900's when many such systems were introduced abroad.

  • Stadler Inaugurated Its New Factory in Belarus
    MEDIA RELEASE Fanipol, 20 November 2014 Stadler inaugurated its new factory in Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus and Peter Spuhler, owner and CEO of Stadler Rail Group have today ceremonially inaugurated the new rolling stock manufacturing factory of Stadler established in Fanipol, Belarus. The new plant is responsible for the production of broad gauge rolling stock for CIS countries, including the starting project for the manufacturing of 21 double decker EMUs for Russian airport railways operator Aeroexpress. The maximum output of the factory at full capacity reaches the 120 carbodies per annum. The value of investment is EUR 76 million, while the number of employees is 600 people. Stadler decided to found a subsidiary and establish a factory in Belarus in order to supply dynamically developing CIS countries with the broad gauge products of the group. The reason behind establishing the factory in Fanipol was the available qualified workforce, its proximity to broad gauge countries, and the country’s customs union with Russia and Kazakhstan. The subsidiary was established in 2012 under the name of OJSC Stadler Minsk as a joint venture, originally with the majority ownership of Stadler Rail AG and the minority ownership Minsk Oblast Executive Committee. Later Stadler bought up the minority shares and became 100% owner of the Belarusian subsidiary. The value of investment Stadler has up till now performed in Belarus is totalling to EUR 76 million. The subsidiary currently employs altogether 600 people. Within the group OJSC Stadler Minsk is responsible for the production of broad gauge rolling stock ordered by customers operating in CIS countries.

  • Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties for Those Actively Involved in Or Supporting the Preservation of London Buses, Coaches and Trolleybuses of the Past
    Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties For those actively involved in or supporting the preservation of London buses, coaches and trolleybuses of the past Here is a nice wintry shot of RT 1426, one of the Country area's Cravens-bodied examples, waiting to go to home to Windsor from Uxbridge, long ago, via the picturesque-sounding Iver Heath, George Green, Upton Lea and more mundane Wexham Road, Slough and Eton. I cannot speak for those places at the time the photograph was taken, but in more recent times it has been hard to see anything remotely rural, bucolic or delightful about any of them, and Upton Lea is nothing but a large and uninspiring housing estate on the edge of Slough. Life can be so disappointing at times! Photo by Michael Dryhurst. Newsletter 162 February 2020 Opening Lines First of all, many thanks to all those “Friends” who kindly sent us seasonal greetings at what is nowadays regarded as the “festive” season. These are of course warmly reciprocated. Thanks also to those many individuals who contribute to this monthly mayhem. All contributions are gratefully received and as many as possible are used. It matters not if you send a couple of lines or several pages, it all helps to keep us all in touch. I would also now ask vehicle owners to think about keeping us posted, especially in the case of those buses and coaches which rarely, if ever, appear in public. Many members like to know that these “ghost” buses still exist and are being cared for, or stored, or even under extensive restoration.

PDF-200-1 3 The Stage Waggon Getting Around Before The 1700's Up until the latter part of the 1500's the only reliable form of passenger transport was the horse; although rudimentary carts and waggons existed they were not generally used as public transport. It was not until towards the close of the century that the waggon became used as a public conveyance and even then only on rare occasions.

  • Annual Procurement Review
    ANNUAL PROCUREMENT REVIEW 2013 Prepared by The Procurement Department April 2013 ab0cd Executive summary This report, prepared by the Procurement Department (PD), reviews public sector procurement contracts signed in 2013, funded and/or administered by the Bank and procured by the Bank’s clients. A separate section (2.10) covers the procurement activities of the Nuclear Safety Department (NSD). A total of 269 (excluding NSD contracts) contracts were signed by the Bank’s clients in 2013. The total value of these contracts amounted to €1.270 billion for which EBRD’s own financing totalled €878 million. In comparison with 2012, this represented a substantial increase in terms of the number of signed contracts (by 30 per cent) whilst maintaining the same level of the total contract value. Co-financed contracts in EU member countries represented 36 per cent of the total number of co-financed contracts and 45 per cent of the total value of all co-financed contracts. Out of the 56 contracts signed in EU countries 45 were co-financed with EU cohesion funds. Public sector contracts awarded through open tendering represent 98 per cent of the number of contracts and 99 per cent of the total contract value when consultancy services contracts and alternative procurement procedures are excluded for which the Bank’s open tender procedures do not apply. In 2013, the average contract value was €4.7 million and the average EBRD financing was €3.3 million per contract. The largest contract was the “Supply of electric multiple units for Serbian Railways”. This goods contract was signed with a value of €99 million (fully financed by EBRD).

    2020 Book News Welcome to our 2020 Book News. It’s hard to believe another year has gone by already and what a challenging year it’s been on many fronts. We finally got the Hallmark book launched at Showbus. The Red & White volume is now out on final proof and we hope to have copies available in time for Santa to drop under your tree this Christmas. Sorry this has taken so long but there have been many hurdles to overcome and it’s been a much bigger project than we had anticipated. Several other long term projects that have been stuck behind Red & White are now close to release and you’ll see details of these on the next couple of pages. Whilst mentioning bigger projects and hurdles to overcome, thank you to everyone who has supported my latest charity fund raiser in aid of the Christie Hospital. The Walk for Life challenge saw me trekking across Greater Manchester to 11 cricket grounds, covering over 160 miles in all weathers, and has so far raised almost £6,000 for the Christie.
