  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

  • Cwu Submission to Ofcom: Royal Mail Access Pricing Review
    24 February 2015 CWU SUBMISSION TO OFCOM: ROYAL MAIL ACCESS PRICING REVIEW Introduction 1. The Communication Workers Union (CWU) is the largest trade union in the communications sector, representing over 200,000 workers in the postal, telecommunications and financial services industries. We are the recognised trade union for around 140,000 non-managerial staff at Royal Mail and are therefore an important stakeholder in the postal sector, speaking on behalf of our members both as workers within the industry and as users of postal services. We welcome this opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s Royal Mail Access Pricing Review and have tailored our response to respond to the consultation questions most relevant to our membership and on which we believe we are best placed to comment. Ofcom’s proposed amendments to zonal access pricing regulation 2. Ofcom is concerned that the existing Universal Service Provider (USP) access condition is not working as it envisioned in 2012 and may not promote efficiency, promote effective competition, and confer significant benefits on the users of postal services. It believes quick regulatory intervention is needed to reduce the risks to end-to-end competitors, such as Whistl, from the current pricing flexibility Royal Mail is afforded on zonal access mail. Ofcom says the current USP access condition allows Royal Mail to distinguish between different types of operator and introduce very significant year-on-year changes in access charges. It is concerned at the uncertainty and disruption this presents to access operators. 3. Royal Mail’s 2013/14 proposed changes to zonal access charges, currently suspended, would change the gradient of the ‘Zonal tilt’1 by introducing reductions in the London and Urban zones where end-to-end entrants are most likely to operate whilst increasing prices in Suburban and Rural Zones in which they are least likely to operate.

  • À La Recherche De La Continuité Territoriale Entre Londres Et Le
    183 DuNight-Ferry à Eurostar:à la recherchede la continuitéterritoriale entreLondres et le continent FromNight Ferry to Eurostar: ln searchof the territorialcontinuity betweenLondon and thecontinent Etienne AUPHAN Université de Nancy 2 UFR des Sciences Historiques et Géographiques BP 3397 - 54015 - NANCY - France Résumé : La liaison entre Londres et le continent a fait l'objet, depuis le siècle dernier, et surtout depuis 25 ans, d'une recherche toujours plus poussée de formules se rapprochant de la continuité territoriale . Pour le transport des personnes, se sont ainsi notamment succédés la formule des gares maritimes et des trains-ferries traduisant le triomphe chi couple train-bateau, les car-ferries, consacrant le règne de l'automobile , les aéroglisseurs exprimant l'exigence de vitesse, et enfin le tunnel ferroviaire qui assure une continuité territoriale presque parfaite, mais paradoxalement au profit du rail, instaurant ainsi de nouveaux rapports intermodaux, aux conséquences sans doute encore mal mesurées sur le fonctionnement de l'espace littoral et w système de transport en ·général. Mots-clés France - Royaume-Uni - Tunnel sous la Manche - Transports intermodaux - Continuité territoriale Abstract : The aim of linking London to the continent has, since the last century and above during the last 25 years , been the object of a search for ever more advanced methods getting ever closer to a land link. For the transport of people, a number of methods have succeeded each other : ferry ports and rail-ferries reflected the triumph of the train-boat partnership, the car-ferries manifested the era of the car, hovercraft expressed the need for speed and, finally, the rail tunnel which assures an almost perfect territorial link.

  • Overseas Rail-Marine Bibliography
    Filename: Dell/T43/bibovrmi.wpd Version: March 29, 2006 OVERSEAS RAIL-MARINE BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by John Teichmoeller With Assistance from: Ross McLeod, Phil Sims, Bob Parkinson, and Paul Lipiarski, editorial consultants. Introduction This installment is the next-to-last in our series of regional bibliographies that have covered the Great Lakes (Transfer No. 9), East Coast (Transfer No. 10 and 11), Rivers and Gulf (Transfer No. 18), Golden State [California] (Transfer No. 27) and Pacific Northwest (Transfer No. 36). The final installment, “Miscellaneous,” will be included with Transfer No. 44. It was originally our intention to begin the cycle again, reissuing and substantially upgrading the bibliographies with the additional material that has come to light. However, time and spent energy have taken their toll, so future updates will have to be in some other form, perhaps through the RMIG website. Given the global scope of this installment, I have the feeling that this is the least comprehensive of any sections compiled so far, especially with regard to global developments in the last thirty years. I have to believe there is a much more extensive literature, even in English, of rail-marine material overseas than is presented here. Knowing the “train ferry” (as they are called outside of North America) operations in Europe, Asia and South America, there must be an extensive body of non-English literature about these of which I am ignorant. However, as always, we publish what we have. Special thanks goes to Bob Parkinson for combing 80+ years of English technical journals. Moreover, I have included some entries here that may describe auto ferries and not car ferries, but since I have not seen some of the articles I am unsure; I have shared Bob’s judgements in places.

The national postal operator in Denmark said the disruption to its communications systems also meant that customers were unable to contact customer service regarding their inability to track their packages. Despite the problems, the company insisted yesterday that it is now back to delivering letters and parcels on time. Post & Parcel: PostNL will be increasing its prices from the beginning of August, with the basic rate for a domestic letter rising 11% to 60c. The Dutch postal service said the rate increases are necessary to counter the impacts of the country’s 8-10% annual decline in mail volumes. Letters going to European destinations will see rates rise to 96c, while letters going to the rest of the world will be charged at EUR 1. Business rates will also increase from 1st August, the company said. The basic rate for franked mail will be EUR 0.52. Despite beginning a “rigorous” series of restructuring effort and cost-saving plans, PostNL said its universal postal service is loss- making as a result of the large volume declines, while it continues to meet its obligation to guarantee mail delivery within 24 hours and maintain networks of 2,000 post offices and 15,000 mailboxes.
