  • The Evolution of British Railways 1909-2009
    The Evolution of British Railways 1909-2009 Britain’s Railways and The Railway Study Association 1909-2009 previously published in 2009 as part of A Century of Change 2019 Introduction to Second Edition Mike Horne FCILT MIRO This book was originally published by the name of ‘A Century of Change’ to commemorate the centenary of the Railway Study Association (RSA) in 1909; the Association is now the Railway Study Forum of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. Plenty has already been written about the railways of Britain. When the time came to celebrate the activities of the RSA, it occurred to this author that there was something missing. I felt that although it is self-evident that the railway today is very different to that of a century ago, the real point was that railways have been in a state of constant evolution, in part to respond to the changing conditions of the country and in part because of technological change. More importantly, this change will continue. Few people entering the in- dustry today can have much conception of what these changes will be, but change there will be: big changes too. What I wanted to highlight is the huge way the railway has altered, particularly in its technology and operational practices. This has happened, with great success, under diffi cult political and fi nancial conditions. Although the railway has lost much of its market share, the numbers of people carried today have recovered dramatically, and the fact this has been done on a much smaller system is an in- credible achievement that needs to be promoted.

  • A Century of Change
    A Century of Change Britain’s Railways and The Railway Study Association 1909-2009 and a view forward A Century of Change Britain’s Railways and The Railway Study Association 1909-2009 and a view forward Compiled by M.A.C. Horne FCILT MIRO Published by the Railway Study Association in conjunction with Nebulous Books © 2010 ISBN 978-0-9507416-7-3 £17.50 Website: www.railwaystudyassociation.org THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SERVED IN THE RAILWAY INDUSTRY OVER THE LAST CENTURY AND TO THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW DURING THE NEXT. iv Foreword Richard Brown CBE Chief Executive, Eurostar (UK) Ltd Celebrating its 100th birthday makes the Railway Study Association a unique railway institution. Over the last 100 years railway companies have been grouped and then nationalized, a variety of public bodies have come and gone, and most recently a new generation of rail companies emerged. Few other railway organizations founded 100 years ago are still with us in broadly the same form that they started in. To have survived, and still be thriving 100 years on, gives the RSA and its archive a unique perspective on our rail industry. This book, drawing on a wide range of lectures delivered to RSA members over the decades pro- vides a fascinating read. It is interesting both in itself—history is always a stimulating subject!—but also because of the regularly recurring themes and issues over the years. Shortage of investment, the need to modernize, meeting road and air competition, reconciling the tensions between providing a public service and fi nancial discipline, coping with reorganization and restructuring: these are all regularly reappearing subjects, to name just a few, that resonate with us today.

  • RCHS Chronology of Modern Transport in the British Isles 1945
    RCHS Chronology of Modern Transport in the British Isles 1945–2015 Introduction This chronology is intended to set out some of the more significant events in the recent history of transport and communication, with particular reference to public transport, in the British Isles since the end of 1944. It cannot hope to cover the closure or opening of every branch railway or canal, the sale of every bus company, nor the coming and going of every pertinent office holder. The hope is that it does contain details of the principal legislative and organisational changes affecting transport – in particular the shifts between private and public ownership which have characterised the industry within this period – together with some notable ‘firsts’, ‘lasts’ and other significant events, especially those which exhibit trends. A very few overseas events are included (in italics), either because they had a British relationship, or for comparative purposes. Conventions Dates are, where appropriate, the first or last occasion on which an ordinary member of the public could make full use of the facility: official and partial openings on different dates are in general confined to parentheses; and ‘closed with effect from’ (wef) dates are quoted only where the actual last day of service has not been certainly established. Dates assigned to statutes are those of assent unless stated otherwise. ‘First’, ‘last’ or similar qualifiers mean ‘in Britain’ unless otherwise indicated. ‘Commercial’ is used, rather loosely, as a qualifier to exclude experimental, enthusiast, heritage, leisure or similar operations. Forms of name are those in use at the date of the event.
