Yet the railways were crucial in maintaining the war effort and wartime economy, transporting not only weaponry and troops, but food items for both the domestic population and the forces; mail travelling to and from the front lines, and essential commodities such as coal for the nation’s navy. This dissertation considers the impact of the early stages of the war, through analysis of the worst disaster in British railway history at Quintinshill on the 22nd of May 1915. Five trains were in involved in a catastrophic collision leading to the loss of 226 military and civilian lives. By utilizing documents detailing the coordination of the railways by the Railway Executive Committee, and exploring the events at Quintinshill using the official report into the disaster, as well as newspaper reports and company documents, the operation of the railways under wartime conditions is examined. Using the Quintinshill disaster as a prism through which to analyse the issues, the extreme pressures faced by the railways and the people that operated them during this crucial period have been examined, showing how normal protocols dictating safe operations on the railways were being neglected during wartime. 2 | P a g e Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank Dr. Keith Vernon for all the assistance he has provided me throughout the course of completing this research project.

The transport system, originating in the first decades of the previous century, had by the beginning of the Great War expanded to the extent that virtually every centre of population across the nation was serviced by a rail connection. Over the course of the previous decade there has been an upsurge in interest in the role of Britain’s Home Front during the First World War, and this is undoubtedly linked to the centenary commemorations of the war as a whole. This renewed focus however has centred on aspects of the war that directly influenced the course of hostilities, be that the politics behind the British war machine, the increase in munitions production, and the changing role of workers. Although it is widely accepted that the railways were a vital part of Britain’s war effort, little focus has been placed on the role they played during the conflict and how it was the railways that allowed Britain to wage a truly mechanized war. Any focus that has been placed on the railways appears to fall into one of two tendencies. The first being passing reference to the role the railways played in wider histories about First World War which, although interesting, inevitably focus on the home front during the war, or the military campaigns of the front. The second line of focus comes from the more specialized ‘Railway History’ sphere of enquiry. Whilst this line of research is much more detailed than the first line of focus, specialized railway histories prefer to investigate either the staff who operated the railways, or the place of the railways on the front lines with the War Department Light Railways sector of the Royal Engineers. This leaves 5 | P a g e the railways of mainland Britain vastly underrepresented in the histories of the railways at war, being relegated to only a handful of texts and the occasional few pages of information written in the last five decades. Furthermore, texts which do contain reference to the railways rarely acknowledge operations on the network beyond the establishment of the Railway Executive Committee as a subcommittee of general wartime governance, meaning that an entire element of Britain’s wartime story has been severely underrepresented. Invariably when investigating the role of the railways during the First World War, the term ‘Quintinshill’ is going to arise. To a non-rail enthusiast, this term can seem quite obscure, but to individuals whom hold an interest in the history of the railways, this term is the shorthand for Britain’s worst rail disaster in the long history of the transport network. Yet this disaster, the only near comparison of which being the Harrow and Wealdstone disaster of 1952 in terms of fatalities; and the Hawes junction disaster of 1910 in terms of overall damage to rolling stock, is by and large forgotten by members of the general public. Yet this disaster provides an interesting angle in which to examine the operations of the railways, both in general terms surrounding railway practices of that period, and in the more specific sphere of the railways during the First World War. In recent years, there have been a small selection of texts written focusing on the disaster itself and the significance that it plays to the story of 1915, but these texts have not used the disaster as a means of exploring and investigating operations on the railways during the First World War, and the complexities that operating a network designed in peacetime had when the wartime conditions took full precedent. Given the period of 1915 in which the Quintinshill disaster occurred, it is perhaps easy to see why general histories of the First World War may overlook this event. Happening 6 | P a g e on the 22nd of May 1915, the disaster came at the height of the so called ‘shell crisis’, wherein British forces were suffering from a severe shortage of munitions at the front lines, as well as being only weeks after the torpedo attack and subsequent sinking of RMS Lusitannia off of the coast of Ireland, with the result being 1,198 deaths on board with only 761 survivors. As well as this, the events that unfurled at Quintinshill came shortly before the collapse of the Asquith government and the establishment of the wartime coalition, as well as happening during the infamous Gallipoli and Dardanelles campaigns in Turkey. Evaluation of these other subject areas is far more prevalent in existing studies surrounding the First World War. Even within devoted texts however, the focus is more on the staff behind the disaster and the criminal trial of these men, the impact to the railway is not mentioned in any great detail, and this is something of an oversight on behalf of authors that have written before. This study will focus on the events of the Quintinshill rail disaster and examine the obvious questions that have been largely overlooked, what went wrong on the morning of the 22nd of May 1915, and was this disaster a byproduct of the wider wartime situation, with regard to pressure on the railways and the people that ran them? In order to achieve this however, it is first important to place the railways of Britain into the sphere of the wider war narrative.

  • Prince of Wales’ Saloon”
    Great Northern Railway Society Transcript of an article in the Great Northern News The Great Northern Railway “Prince of Wales’ Saloon” by Sandy Maclean & Bill Shannon Ed's introduction: The "Royal Train Special" issue of GNN (No. 118) contained as much as I then was able to find out about the GNR's 1889 Prince of Wales' Saloon. However, as a result of contacts with colleagues in the North British Railway Association and the Scottish Railway Preservation Society, I can now publish further information on this unique vehicle. We begin with the vehicle's history, compiled by Sandy Maclean of the North British Railway Association and a former Coaching Rolling Stock Officer at BR Scottish Region HQ, from various sources including records in the National Archives of Scotland. According to F A S Brown in his book GREAT NORTHERN LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS, it came about when the General Manager told his Board on 31st May, 1888 that the London & North Western Railway, in addition to the suite of coaches provided for Queen Victoria, had built a new carriage for the Prince of Wales. He considered that the then Great Northern equivalent "did not shine by contrast". In view of the known preference for the Royal Household to travel to Scotland by the West Coast route, it appears that the decision to build this car at all was perhaps more one of faith and hope, than operational or commercial necessity. Royal saloons were strictly for royalty! Patrick Stirling stated that he could not build a suitable coach at Doncaster Works, and suggested that Messrs Craven Brothers of Sheffield, could do the job.

    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.

They were also used on some of the prestigious Clyde Coast services. The exception was a batch of 6 Brake composites D 1 03 which were slip coaches whose use was covered in a later section. These coaches were all 65’ long with the exception of the full thirds which were of necessity 68’ long in order to fit in a full 11 compartments. Numbering, withdrawal dates and other details, which have been gleaned from the ‘Coaching and Non-Passenger Coaching Stock Register’ published by the Caledonian Railway Association in 2001, are given in the accompanying tables. The Caledonian Railway Diagram books were introduced in 1898, one for “Modem Wagons” and a second for “Carriages, Vans & Trucks”. These are now generally referred to as the Large Diagram Books. A second, pocket sized version was also introduced and continuously updated throughout the Caledonian era.
