  • Farringdon Elizabeth Line Station Handed Over to Transport for London
    Farringdon Elizabeth line station handed over to Transport for London March 5, 2021 Farringdon Elizabeth line station has been officially handed over to Transport for London (TfL). It is the first of the central London stations to be transferred over to TfL, who will operate the Elizabeth line. The station is now ready and the extensive testing and commissioning of systems have been finalised in advance of Trial Operations beginning later this year. Trial Operations is the final phase of testing involving trials to ensure the safety and reliability of the railway for public use. This includes real-time testing of evacuations of trains and stations before opening the Elizabeth line. The contractor, Bam Ferrovial and Kier Joint Venture (BFK JV) will continue demobilisation from the site. This is the second of the new Elizabeth line stations to be handed over to TfL and the first to London Underground as infrastructure manager. Custom House was the first Elizabeth line station to be handed over to TfL last year. Crossrail confirmed last month that Tottenham Court Road and Paddington stations have reached the T-12 landmark, which means the stations are now considered to be 12 weeks away from being ready to hand over and will be the next stations to transfer to TfL. Mark Wild, Crossrail Chief Executive, said: “I am delighted that Farringdon station has been handed over to London Underground, this is a huge milestone for Crossrail. “I am proud of everyone who has worked so hard to get this magnificent new railway station over the line and we look forward to more stations reaching this stage in the coming months.” Kim Kapur, London Underground’s Head of Station Integration, said: “This is a great achievement by the both the Crossrail and London Underground teams.

  • Freight on the Underground
    FREIGHT ON THE UNDERGROUND by Eric Stuart (I have tried to simplify this article by mentioning the constituent railway company at the time of an event, but later activities usually involved the subsequent appropriate member of the ‘Big Four’ and later region of British Railways.) For those readers whose memory of the Underground system – ‘the Combine’ – does not go back more than 40 years or so, thoughts of freight trains on London Underground may seem as strange as the ‘Routemaster’ on the Moon’ I mentioned in the title of a previous article. Engineers’ trains, yes, but real, old-fashioned ‘goods trains’, with their clanking buffers, seem far removed from the modern Underground. True, freight on the ‘tube’ lines was not an issue originally, although it became so later, as you will see, but it was certainly part of the operation on much of the sub-surface network. In earlier days, fruit, vegetables and other perishable commodities, horses, their carriages, cattle and other livestock could be conveyed. Some, if small enough, were carried in the brake vans of passenger trains. Milk traffic was common, either in churns or, later, tank wagons. Quite late in this history, oil traffic was dealt with in rail tankers at Chalfont & Latimer. Coal was especially important. Parcels and newspapers were also conveyed by many lines at different times1. AREAS OF OPERATION Briefly, freight and other non-passenger service of varying kinds was provided at some time or other on the following sections of line: Metropolitan/Circle/Hammersmith & City (H&C)/East London (ELL): • Throughout the Met north of West Hampstead.
