  • Britain's Transition from Rail to Road-Based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA
    ‘Food Miles’: Britain’s Transition from Rail to Road-based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA Doctor of Philosophy University of York Railway Studies September 2016 Abstract Britain’s railways were essential for the development of the British economy throughout the nineteenth century; however, by 1919 their seemingly unassailable position as goods carriers was about to be eroded by the lorry. The railway strike of September 1919 had presented traders with an opportunity to observe the capabilities of road haulage, but there is no study which focuses on the process of modal shift in goods distribution from the trader’s perspective. This thesis therefore marks an important departure from the existing literature by placing goods transport into its working context. The importance of food as an everyday essential commodity adds a further dimension to the status of goods transport within Britain’s supply chain, particularly when the fragility of food products means that minimising the impact of distance, time and spoilage before consumption is vital in ensuring effective and practical logistical solutions. These are considered in a series of four case studies on specific food commodities and retail distribution, which also hypothesise that the modal shift from rail to road reflected the changing character of transport demand between 1919 and 1975. Consequently, this thesis explores the notion that the centre of governance over the supply chain transferred between food producers, manufacturers, government and chain retailer, thereby driving changes in transport technology and practice. This thesis uses archival material to provide a qualitative study into the food industry’s relationship with transport where the case studies incorporate supply chain analyses to permit an exploration of how changes in structure might have influenced the modal shift from rail to road distribution.

  • Great Western Railway Ships - Wikipedi… Great Western Railway Ships from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    5/20/2011 Great Western Railway ships - Wikipedi… Great Western Railway ships From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Great Western Railway’s ships operated in Great Western Railway connection with the company's trains to provide services to (shipping services) Ireland, the Channel Islands and France.[1] Powers were granted by Act of Parliament for the Great Western Railway (GWR) to operate ships in 1871. The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.

(MacMillan Yd. access line). The bridge, far right, carries the access line across Hwy. 401. ... mi. --John D. Thompson DECEMBER 1986 3 A RAILWAY MUSEUM FOR ZIMBABWE By Sandy Worthen It is easy to understand why railways developed so rapidly in England, ttfe land of their birth, in the first half of the 19th cet|tury- And so it is quite logical that one of the world's finest railway museums, the National Museum at York, England, should have been established at an early date. When George Stephenson's LOCOMOTION hauled the first steam powered train on any public railway in the world on Sept. 27, 1825, from Shildon to Stockton-Quay, with 10 loaded coal trucks, 21 waggons fitted with temporary seats and a solitary passenger coach named EXPERIMENT, it was certain that, one day, someone would have the idea of saving some railway equipment to commemorate this historic event.

  • Kings Cross to Liverpool Street Via 13 Stations Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Kings Cross to Liverpool Street via 13 stations walk All London’s railway terminals, the three royal parks, the River Thames and the City Length 21.3km (13.3 miles) for the whole walk, but it is easily split into smaller sections: see Walk Options below Toughness 1 out of 10 - entirely flat, but entirely on hard surfaces: definitely a walk to wear cushioned trainers and not boots. Features This walk links (and in many cases passes through) all thirteen London railway terminals, and tells you something of their history along the way. But its attractions are not just limited to railway architecture. It also passes through the three main Central London parks - Regent’s Park, Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens and St James's Parks - and along the Thames into and through the City of London*. It takes in a surprising number of famous sights and a number of characteristic residential and business areas: in fact, if you are first time visitor to London, it is as good an introduction as any to what the city has to offer. Despite being a city centre walk, it spends very little of its time on busy roads, and has many idyllic spots in which to sit or take refreshment. In the summer months you can even have an open air swim midway through the walk in Hyde Park's Serpentine Lido. (* The oldest part of London, now the financial district. Whenever the City, with a capital letter, is used in this document, it has this meaning.) Walk Being in Central London, you can of course start or finish the walk wherever Options you like, especially at the main railway stations that are its principal feature.

  • Orion 100 Current Edition.Indd
    A shipwreck! - For many years it was assumed that Orion was named after the LNWR engine No. 1957, Orion – one of the ‘Alfred the Great’ class upon which the miniature Orion was modelled. No.1957, in turn, was named after a Royal Navy corvette, HMS Orion (1879-1909). Recent research suggests differently, however. It seems that Richard Darroch’s Uncle Duncan was a passenger on board the paddle steamer Orion when it struck rocks just to the NW of Portpatrick Harbour entrance, with considerable loss of life in June 1850. Fortunately, Duncan Darroch was saved; his nephew naming his locomotive after the ORION at 100 tragic steamer in recognition of his uncle’s survival. The Stephenson Locomotive Society (SLS) is perhaps, like the LNWR, ‘the oldest fi rm in the business’ since the SLS founded in 1909 is now the oldest railway society in the world. Originally, it hoped to gather, organise and share information about motive power on railways. Since then its scope has increased greatly; it is directly involved in railway history and heritage on a wide, international front. Its support for railway heritage started in 1927 with the saving of the beautiful express engine Gladstone (now in the NRM). In our times the SLS has saved a large collection of artefacts, most of which are on public display; it maintains one of Europe’s largest railway history libraries, together with an extensive archive and a mass of over 80,000 railway photographs, all available to bona fi de researchers; its many meetings and talks around the country are also open to the public, who may also purchase copies of its prestigious Journal.

  • NG 15, Loco No. 134
    NG 15, loco no. 134 Last repair book whilst in use by SAR from Humewood Road Mostly translated from Afrikaans, by Martin Coombs, with help from members of the SAR-L e-mail group including Pierre de Wet, James Smith, Aidan McCarthy and Keith Simmons. Further assistance from the bilingual diagrams in the SAR Handbook on the Steam Locomotive for Enginemen and Running Shed Staff, and from the online Afrikaans-English dictionary at <http://www.websters-online- dictionary.org/definition/Afrikaans-english/index7.html>. Notes: Repair books tend to be written in a hurry by drivers at the end of their shifts, using whatever writing implement was to hand. In addition drivers may not be particular- ly literate or good at spelling, and may use colloquialisms. Thus translating such a document is not easy and there have been one or two times when I have had to make a guess at what was written. However, in 99% of cases I think the general meaning has been clear. Key: ??? or Illeg. implies that there is a word or words that cannot be deciphered. Text in red remains in Afrikaans for lack of a translation. Text in blue is comment by me. Implications: As one correspondent commented, most of the minor problems will be sorted during the normal processes of restoration but the references in the later pages to serious leakage from stays or foundation ring rivets on the rear left of the firebox need to be taken more seriously. I think ‘klinknaels ‘ means rivets rather than stays (= ankers) but drivers might have used the term indiscriminately.

W. Harrison We are very sad to have to report that one of the new members of your committee, Peter Robinson, died last March. This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Peter had only just commenced his service with the committee and was looking forward to help the Society grow. His loss is our sad loss. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish due to a reduction in the number of trustees. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. This year Charles Baumann has left the committee after many years of service when he undertook various tasks such as chairing lectures, organizing fund raising Flea Markets with me, publicising our events and other ventures as the need arose.

  • The Steam Locomotive Table, V1
    The Steam Locomotive Table, v1 If you’re reading this; you either like steam trains, or want to know more about them. Hopefully, either way, I can scratch your itch with this; a set of randomizer/dice-roll tables of my own making; as inspired by some similar tables for tanks and aircrafts. Bear with me, I know not everyone knows the things I do, and I sure know I don’t know a lot of things other train enthusiasts do; but hopefully the descriptions and examples will be enough to get anyone through this smoothly. To begin, you’ll either want a bunch of dice or any online dice-rolling/number generating site (or just pick at your own whim); and somewhere or something to keep track of the details. These tables will give details of a presumed (roughly) standard steam locomotive. No sentinels or other engines with vertical boilers; no climax, shay, etc specially driven locomotives; are considered for this listing as they can change many of the fundamental details of an engine. Go in expecting to make the likes of mainline, branchline, dockyard, etc engines; not the likes of experiments like Bulleid’s Leader or specific industry engines like the aforementioned logging shays. Some dice rolls will have uneven distribution, such as “1-4, and 5-6”. Typically this means that the less likely detail is also one that is/was significantly less common in real life, or significantly more complex to depict. For clarity sake examples will be linked, but you’re always encouraged to look up more as you would like or feel necessary.

This is intended to aid agencies in designing regimes that will encourage continually improving performance through the use of relevant and adaptive incentives. The proposed incentives are adjusted annually based on actual circumstances. An adaptive regime can also allow the incentives to be more cost and resource efficient and is especially well-suited to so-called "gross-cost" contracts when the public agency retains the fare revenue and absorbs the revenue risk for the services. The motivation for this research is the anticipated transfer of the oversight responsibilities for the Silverlink Metro regional rail services, in outer London, from the UK Department for Transport to Transport for London.
