REPORT of SOCIETY MEETING Tfl's RAIL ACTIVITIES in 2019
REPORT OF SOCIETY MEETING TfL’s RAIL ACTIVITIES IN 2019 by Kim Rennie A report of the LURS meeting at All Souls Clubhouse on Tuesday 11 February 2020 As has become customary, Kim began the presentation starting in January 2019 and progressed through the year with subjects featured in chronological order. Waltham Forest had been designated the first “London Borough of Culture” – a new civic arts and performance festival – and dedicated platform roundels, affixed over certain standard name signs, marked this at TfL stations within the borough. These included Highams Park, Leyton and Leytonstone. The relative lack of overall significant events on LU during the year meant that speaker had drawn on a greater number of non-LU rail subjects than he would have liked, for which he apologised, but such is life. Among these were the new Class 717 units introduced by Great Northern from January, and whose link with LU is their use on the former Northern City Line between Drayton Park and Moorgate. Both external and internal views were shown. Associated with this was the gradual replacement of the existing Class 313 units, which were also depicted, some in truly appalling external condition and with a mixture of liveries from former operators. Also beginning in January was the short-term use of LO Class 378/2 units on the Gospel Oak – Barking Line due to delays in commissioning the new Class 710/2 trains. These 378s were reformed from 5- cars to 4-cars in order to fit the existing operational length of platforms. Finsbury Park gained new lifts to all areas the same month. -

BATTERY-DRIVEN BOMBARDIER ELECTROSTAR Electrical Multiple Unit
Transportudvalget 2014-15 TRU Alm.del endeligt svar på spørgsmål 397 Offentligt UNITED KINGDOM BATTERY-DRIVEN BOMBARDIER ELECTROSTAR Electrical multiple unit ELECTROSTAR electrical multiple unit in operation on British railways ALTERNATIVE DRIVE CONCEPTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS The first battery-powered train to run on UK’s rail network in more than half a century began passenger service in January 2015, marking a game-changing development in the field of eco-friendly public transportation viability. Battery-powered trains will offer a real alternative in areas where diesel or electrified rail services are not suitable; for example, in rural areas where there are gaps in the overhead wire system and where diesel normally would have to be implemented. PROPULSION & CONTROLS A NEW PROPULSION CONCEPT The project is part of a research program, funded by Network Rail (NR). Bombardier received this refurbishment order in competition with other train suppliers and could provide a solution with a short time-frame – seven months design phase – by modifying an existing Class 379 train leased from Abellio Greater Anglia. The target is to operate a 185 tons four-car BOMBARDIER* ELECTROSTAR* train on battery up to 120 km/h for a distance of up to 50 km, which requires battery capacity in the range of up to 500 kWh. The design solution charges the batteries with the existing line converter equipment Batteries and assembly in one of six rafts and connects the motor converters to the batteries when the 25 kVAC overhead line is not available. The lithium-ion batteries weigh less and can charge THE PROJECT SETUP more quickly than industrial-form batteries, such The retrofittedELECTROSTAR train was modified at as those used in automobiles.
