  • Railway Enthusiasts 2018
    RAILWAY ENTHUSIASTS 2018 February 2018: A RAILWAY LIFE Andrew gave us a talk about his sometimes-colourful career on the railway, mainly spent at Toton. Starting in November 1970, Andrew was looking for the legendary “Job for Life”, something that was still available back in those days, so applied for a clerical job with British Rail. This was as an ATI (Advanced Traffic Information) clerk, a new system that was being tried out to make sure that traffic could be individually identified. This was a little hit and miss, due to the vagaries of what passed for technology then. Training in touch-typing was seen as a necessity, so off he went with 3 other colleagues to Euston. Mistaken identity nearly got him into trouble but resulted in fortunately gaining a more advantageous post. With yet another system being brought into play, Andrew made a move to Gloucester to steal a march on this new process. A couple of fun years, watching nuclear flasks being derailed, mysterious contents eating a wagon and flying wagons burying themselves in the ground followed, before he was propelled back to Toton. The decline in traffic ended up with the demise of Hump Shunting before a couple of moves found him in Nottingham, on the site where Dunelm now sits. After some fortuitous moves and promotions, Andrew found himself, as privatisation took the freight railway into American hands, in an extremely busy and exacting role. He was trying to win freight back to rail from road, an uphill battle at the best of times. As Development Manager (Central) Andrew was responsible for projects in the South-East, East Anglia and the East Midlands, before changes that for a brief time had him covering projects across most of the country! Things steadied down, very slightly as new territorial lines were drawn and eventually “Central” came to mean the East Midlands, West Midlands, all of Wales and the South West from Southampton westwards.

It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.

  • U DYE WB Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway Collection
    Hull History Centre: W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern Railway collection U DYE W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway collection Historical background: Willie Brayshaw Yeadon was born in Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 28 June 1907. After his schooldays, he trained to become a mechanical engineer, and started work with Bradford Dyers, but was unfortunately made redundant in 1930 following the onset of terrible trading conditions. In 1931 he joined JH Fenner Ltd in Hull ('makers of improved beltings'), eventually becoming Sales Manager and then Marketing Manager, until his official retirement in 1972. He died at the age of 89 on 16 January 1997 in Hull Royal Infirmary after a short illness. By then he had become probably the country's leading authority on the London & North Eastern Railway and its locomotives. Indeed, Eric Fry, honorary editor of 'Locomotives of the LNER', writing in the 'Railway Observer' in March 1997, described him as possibly 'the foremost locomotive historian of all time'. Willie Yeadon's earliest railway interest had been the London & North Western Railway, with visits and family holidays to Shap summit and Tebay. On his removal to Hull, however, the London & North Eastern Railway became his main preoccupation, and he was particularly inspired by the development and progress of Sir Nigel Gresley's Pacific class locomotives during the 1930s. He began to collect railway photographs in 1933, and continued his interest after railway nationalisation in 1948. The British Railways modernisation programme undertaken from the mid - 1950s prompted him to investigate and record the history of every LNER locomotive.

  • Press Release = Press Information - Press Information - Press Information
    @PRESS RELEASE = PRESS INFORMATION - PRESS INFORMATION - PRESS INFORMATION 24 June 1994 CYLINDER PATTERNS ORDERED FOR NEW STEAM LOCOMOTIVE The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, the registered charity which is building the new ex-LNER Class A1 Pacific 60163, the first mainline steam locomotive to be built in Britain since 1960, today announced that it had placed a £20,000 order with Kings Heath Patterns of Birmingham, for the manufacture of the new locomotive's three cylinder patterns. This order represents a major step towards the completion of the new locomotive as cylinder patterns are long lead-time items of great expense and are on the critical path towards the construction of the locomotive. The three cylinder patterns will be delivered over the next year, with the inside cylinder pattern being available for inspection at the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust's convention in Doncaster in September and the core boxes following by Christmas. The remaining two outside cylinder patterns will follow in April and July 1995. Although negotiations are currently taking place as to which company will cast the cylinders, it is anticipated that casting of the inside cylinder will take place in early 1995, with the outside two following on completion of their patterns. The cylinders for 60163 will be cast from a higher quality of iron than the cylinders of the original 49 A1s as part of the drive by the Trust to build the new locomotive to the highest possible quality. David Elliott, Technical Director, A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, commented: Last month we announced that work had begun on the manufacture of the new locomotive's frames.

    A public consultation on revised proposals for the transposition of Directive 2008/57/EC on the interoperability of the rail system 1 October 2011 Contents Executive Summary 2 How to respond 2 Freedom of Information 3 The Consultation Criteria 4 What will happen next 4 The proposals 5 Longer term strategic issues 22 List of consultation questions 25 Annexes: A – List of those consulted B - The Consultation Criteria C – Draft Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2012 D - Transposition Note E – Draft List of Exclusions from Scope (GB) F – Draft Impact Assessment G – Directive 2008/57 (and updates) H – Commission Recommendation 2011/217 2 October 2011 Executive Summary i.) This consultation seeks views on draft regulations concerning the interoperability of the railways. These regulations are necessary to meet the requirements of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC which recast earlier versions and the deadline for implementation was 19 July 2010. The recast Directive contained new provisions for type authorisation of vehicles. It also has provisions for the reauthorisation process for vehicles authorised in another Member State which have been moved from the 2004 Safety Directive into the Interoperability Directive. ii.) The draft regulations will implement the Directive for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reauthorisation of vehicles for the UK half of the Channel Tunnel are dealt with in bi-national safety regulations. All other requirements in the Directive in relation to the Tunnel will be implemented through these draft interoperability regulations. iii.) This consultation builds on two earlier rounds of consultation which were published by the Department in 2009 and 2010.
