    Metro-Cammell Diesel-Electric Pullman Trains by R

    Metro-Cammell Diesel-Electric Pullman Trains By R. P. Bradley On 24 June 1960 a demonstration run of BR's diesel-electric Pullman train took place between Marylebone and High Wycombe. The six and eight-car trains were designed and built by the Metropolitan-Cammell Carriage & Wagon Co. for the Pullman Car Company, to be operated on the LMR and WR respectively. The Railway Gazette used an interesting phrase as it reported the new arrivals; "The term de-luxe applied by the British Transport Commission to the new diesel- electric Pullman multiple- unit trains which begin operations shortly in the London Midland and Western Regions of British Railways suggests an over-abundance of rare but desirable qualities which are not necessary for life." The British Transport Commission’s Press Release for 23rd June 1960 described them as: “These 90 mph de-luxe diesel expresses - there are five of them altogether-are of an entirely new type designed to bring a fresh conception of main-line railway passenger travel to Britain, with superior standards of comfort, and a personal service of' meals and refreshments for all passengers.” A brief look at the internal appointments of these trains certainly lends weight to those ideas. One of the 8-car Western Region units on the Bristol Pullman. The reasoning behind the introduction of these units was basically to attract the businessman to rail travel; or perhaps to return to rail travel, for BR had by 1960 to be on a competitive footing with air transport. The new Metro- Cammell pullmans were prestigious trains, and turned out in a striking blue and white livery.

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.

    Railways List

    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

    Railway Seaside Holiday Posters Along the Scenic Coast From

    Railway Seaside Holiday Posters along the Scenic Coast from Scarborough to Whitby Including a brief history of the Railway Line and its Stations By Stephen Riley The Scarborough and Whitby Railway line followed a difficult but scenic route along the North Yorkshire coast. It eventually opened on 16th July 1885 long after the first proposal to open a line between Scarborough and Whitby in 1848. One of the problems in building a line was the hilly topography and many of the early schemes failed because of the difficulty finding an economic route and raising sufficient capital to construct the line. Before this time the coast between Scarborough and Whitby was rarely visited by holidaymakers and Robin Hood’s Bay was a relatively unknown fishing village. A bill was put before Parliament and received Royal Assent on 5th July 1865 authorising the incorporation of the Scarborough & Whitby Railway. Their planned line was not started due to insufficient finance. In 1870 a new route was proposed and this time funds became available, construction work starting on 3rd June 1872. Progress was exceedingly slow and by 1877 work on the line came to a halt when insufficient capital could not be raised to complete it and the original engineer and contractor pulled out. The work resumed in June 1881 with the appointment of new contractors John Waddell & Son under new engineers, Sir Charles Fox & Sons who completed the line, included the building of a 13-arch red brick viaduct over the River Esk near Whitby. The official opening of the Scarborough & Whitby Railway (S&WR) took place a day before public services commenced, on 15 July 1885, with a special train for the directors of the company and dignitaries from Scarborough and Whitby.
