  • Railways List
    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.

  • Weekly Newsletter 2012-10-17
    Volume 7 Number 41 GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER October 17 2012 From the M.D. We get many accolades these days across the board from catering to every other department. Some of these point the way forward in our growth. The attached letter from Guhring, who are a major supplier to Cromwell Tools, speaks volumes of everyone’s efforts as we concentrate on building our name at the very forefront of the Heritage Railway experience. Over the last month, we have entertained not only Guhring but also Cromwell Tools, Caterpillar, Lafarge and other major corporate entities which afford us significant networking opportunities. This week I am enclosing two letters received after the Gala and I am sure will be appreciated by all who read the Newsletter. It is easy from the inside to criticise our railway, but we receive letters like these on a daily basis which make the volunteer work worthwhile. Everyone connected to the railway needs to be congratulated. Due to activities underway in the various growth areas, I’ve decided I will hand over the responsibility for the Newsletter to our General Manager Richard Patching who has a much better grip on the day-to-day workings of the railway and it is only right and proper that he should continue He has the full backing of the Board and obviously my full support whilst we continue to work closely together. SPOOKTACULAR GHOST TRAINS AT THE GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY Frightful goings on at Half Term and on Halloween Night Dare you ride the trains that go shunt in the night? The Great Central Railway is challenging its passengers to be brave as they buy tickets for the award winning Leicestershire attractions Halloween trains.

  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
    The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.

The Fair……………………………………………………………………….14 5. Communities in Charnwood………………………………………………..17 1. Loughborough – a brief history History of the town The name of Loughborough derives from the Anglo Saxon word burgh meaning a town, and, probably, a personal name which became Lough. Loughborough is an ancient town situated in the heart of the Borough of Charnwood, very close to the Charnwood Forest, which includes Bradgate Park, Beacon Hill and Swithland Woods. In close proximity are extremely attractive villages such as Newtown Linford, Quorn, and Woodhouse Eaves. The primitive settlers who first came here were attracted to this spot by a number of natural features. The River Soar led directly to the Trent Valley, forming a natural means of communication between the north and south, and to the east and west of the fertile Soar Valley the land was relatively poor and unproductive. When the Romans came they took over this settlement of the Britons, or at least, certain evidence points towards that being the case. In the grounds of Mount St Bernard's Abbey, which is about seven miles away, an urn filled with Roman coins was found. Some were dated the year 244 and so substantiated the theory that the Romans occupied this area during the third century. In the Domesday survey of 1086 Loughborough appeared as Lucteburne. William the Conqueror had assigned the manor, together with a good deal of the land, to his nephew, Hugh Lupus, who later became Earl of Chester.

XonDon: M'^CORQUODALE & CO., LIMITED, PRINTERS, CARDINGTON STREET. 1904. ^7 A77373S" PREFACE. Owing to suggestions made from time to time by old comrades in railway life, I have been induced to put together some record of the part I have taken in connection with the inner working of Railways; going back to very early experiences, and through gradual developments extending over a long series of years, to the time when it became advisable for me to retire from the daily pressure of the work. A railway service commencing in 1847, carries one back a long way towards association with those who were the actual pioneers of our railway system ; from whom we learnt our first lessons, by whose successes we have profited, by whose failures we have acquired knowledge ; and on whose foundation we have endeavoured to raise a superstructure of so sub- stantial a character, that those who follow in our steps will have no reason to be ashamed of their predecessors.
