I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience. — James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man In the early 1340s, in Vintry Ward, London— the time and place of Chaucer’s birth— a book went missing. It wasn’t a very important book. Known as a ‘portifory,’ or breviary, it was a small volume containing a variety of excerpted religious texts, such as psalms and prayers, designed to be carried about easily (as the name demonstrates, it was portable).1 It was worth about 20 shillings, the price of two cows, or almost three months’ pay for a carpenter, or half of the ransom of an archer captured by the French.2 The very presence of this book in the home of a mer- chant opens up a window for us on life in the privileged homes of the richer London wards at this time: their inhabitants valued books, ob- jects of beauty, learning, and devotion, and some recognized that books could be utilized as commodities. The urban mercantile class was flour- ishing, supported and enabled by the development of bureaucracy and of the clerkly classes in the previous century.3 While literacy was high in London, books were also appreciated as things in themselves: it was 1 Sharpe, Calendar of Letter- Books of the City of London: Letter- Book F, fol.

  • Case Study: Preparing for Major Changes
    Case Study: Preparing for major changes Control Centre communications – August 2016 blockade Understanding the activities that took place managed by the Control Centre to provide communications in preparation for changes Background August 2016 saw a new phase of the Thameslink Programme begin, which resulted in significant, medium-term temporary changes (through to January 2018 in some cases) for Southeastern passengers including; • Most Charing Cross trains resumed stopping at London Bridge, except in the “contra-peak” directions during weekday peak periods • Cannon Street trains no longer stopped at London Bridge • Cannon Street was closed between 27 August 2016 and 1 September 2016 inclusive – this included three “normal” working days. Given the scale of the changes, Southeastern needed to ramp up their passenger communications. This case study document sets out the actions that needed to be carried out by the Information Team within the Kent Integrated Control Centre (KICC). Twitter - Example Regular tweets, no less than twice daily, to continue until the 1 September 2016, covering the key messages; - Major changes to London Bridge & Cannon Street services from August 2016 - We strongly recommend you consider changing your journey to work between 30 August 2016 until 1 September 2016 - Cannon Street trains will not stop at London Bridge from Friday 26 August until January 2018 - Most Charing Cross services will resume stopping at London Bridge from Monday 29 August 2016 - The changes to contra-peak services at London Bridge on weekdays from Tuesday 30 August (AM services away from London not calling at London Bridge in evening peak). All tweets should link to the dedicated page on the website: southeasternrailway.co.uk/august (example) OIS (Operations Information Screens) - Example Southeastern had a series of animated films to show on OIS and NOIS which were on display from the 8th July 2016.
