DISTANCE CHART EDITOR’S REPORT Like the Society itself the Distance Charts are now 30 years old, the East Coast Main Line being first to appear in the rear of Milepost 1 edited by Bill Becket. Many people have since been involved in the supply of information and production of the charts to who we owe our thanks. The Committee position of Mileage Chart Editor has been in place for only ten years and thanks are also due to my predecessors, Nigel Smedley and John Bull, for their work in collating the information when it wasn’t as readily available as it is today. Mention should also be made of the late Eric Rudkin who did a tremendous amount of research to establish correct mileages, once even walking the 41 miles from Edinburgh to Grantshouse to try to sort out the dodgy mileposts! Back to the current day the enclosed chart issue consists mainly of lines in the Strathclyde area which completes the printing of Scottish charts apart from the Airdrie to Helensburgh corridor which will follow the reopening of the Glasgow- Bathgate-Edinburgh line in December. London-Norwich, Swindon-Gloucester and Carlisle- Dumfries-Glasgow have been reissued but production of the Nottingham-Derby-Bristol corridor charts has been put back to October. The Chart index now shows groups of traction types affected by differential speed restrictions.

  • The London & South Western Railway 1870-1911
    Managing the “Royal Road”: The London & South Western Railway 1870-1911 David Anthony Turner Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of History Institute of Railway Studies and Transport History September 2013 1 Abstract There has been considerable scholarship over the last fifty years on the causes of the late- nineteenth and early-twentieth century British railway industry’s declining profitability. Nonetheless, scholars have largely avoided studying how individual companies’ were managed, instead making general conclusions about the challenges industry leaders faced and the quality of their responses. This thesis examines the management of one of the British railway industry’s largest companies, the London and South Western Railway (LSWR), during the tenures of three of its General Managers: Archibald Scott, who was in the post between 1870 and 1884, Charles Scotter, who succeeded him from 1885 to 1897, and Charles Owens, who held the position between 1898 and 1911. Compared with other major British railways the LSWR’s profitability ranged from being poor under Scott, to excellent under Scotter and then average under Owens. This thesis will explore what internal and external factors caused these changes. Furthermore, it considers how the business’ organisational form, senior managers’ career paths and directors’ external business interests all played a role in shaping the company’s operational efficiency and financial performance. Ultimately, the thesis will argue that while external factors were an influence on the LSWR’s profitability between 1870 and 1911, primarily its financial performance was determined by the quality of the strategies and policies enacted by its directors and managers.

  • First MTR South Western Trains S17 Limited- NR Response
    ` Proposed Track Access Contract Between Network Rail Infrastructure Limited & First MTR South Western Trains Ltd (trading as South Western Railway) Under Section 17 of the Railways Act 1993 Network Rail’s Representations 15th September 2017 Craig Tomlin, Programme Manager, Wessex Route Final Version, Wessex Route © Network Rail 2017 Introduction The South Western Main Line and rail infrastructure on the Wessex Route is an exceptionally valuable asset in the national transport system, serving the busiest station in the UK, London Waterloo. It is a multi‐user route, combining freight, commuter services and long distance passenger services, and is also a popular destination for the passenger charter market. The network on the Wessex Route has little spare capacity, and faces high demand from both passenger and freight growth. The Track Access Contract (TAC) previously held by Stagecoach South West Trains Ltd (SSWT) transferred to First MTR South Western Trains Limited (The Applicant) on August 20th 2017 under the normal arrangements associated with a franchise change. This contract expires on 08 December 2018 and First/MTR is seeking a new contract (The Application) to commence 09 December 2018 to remain in place until rincipal Change Date 2025. This duration includes the maximum 13 railway period extension permitted at the discretion of the Secretary of State and a further 5 months to ensure access rights are in place for any successor operator/franchisee. The application seeks to secure quantum rights (table 2.1 of Schedule 5) and calling patterns (table 4.1 of Schedule 5) as described in the draft TAC and which is based on the latest version of the Model Contract (Version published 11 February 2016).

Old and new or old and older? photo Paul Blowfield Woeful Train Performance continues There is an official statistic for measuring train performance - called Public Performance Measure (PPM). For South Western Railway, the PPM target is for 89.2% of all services to arrive at their final destination within 5 minutes of schedule. It’s really disappointing to report that this target has not been achieved in any month during 2019 on the West of England Line. Furthermore, performance line has dropped continuously over the last three months. September’s figure was 80.1%, October dropped to 72.9% and as we write this (20 November) it stands at 53.7%. Indeed, there have been only 2 days since the beginning of October that the PPM target has been reached. Put simply, on any given day currently, the chance of trains running to time is around 5%! Most delays – around 70% - can be attributed to Network Rail (signalling or points failures, landslips, trespassers, etc), however driver and rolling stock shortages have noticeably increased over the past few months and these are clearly the responsibility of South Western Railway. We’ve noticed that early morning commuter services towards London have become increasingly likely to be cancelled. Both NWR and SWR agree that this is not acceptable, and although SWR have told us that a number of additional drivers will become available shortly, upon completion of their training, we are yet to see any tangible efforts to improve the current situation A new timetable is due to be introduced in December, offering a few extra or extended services (especially in the early mornings and late evenings), but with the prospect of RMT strikes throughout most of December, it is likely that the timetable launch will be delayed until the New Year.
