  • Summer 2017 Newsletter from Railfuture Wessex Branch
    Summer 2017 Newsletter from Railfuture Wessex Branch Chairman’s Message Well here we go again with another newsletter, the big news being the winning of the South West franchise by First/MTR. To date we do not think the contract between them and Department for Transport has been completed and so we continue just with a watching brief. The Company’s first public offering *Improving South Western Railway looks at first sight to be good, but on closer study it seems to promise little. We will have to do much work to understand where these improvements can be delivered … and how! Passengers will not be interested in a 10% journey time saving if intermediate stops are to be cut. No doubt this will be the subject of a consultation in due course. In the meantime, good luck to Andy Mellors who is the new MD of South Western Railway, previously having been GWR Engineering Director. *read it online here: http://www.firstgroupplc.com/about-firstgroup/uk-rail/improving-south-western-railway.aspx On the West of England Line (Waterloo-Salisbury-Exeter), we can see no benefits from the new franchise: no new trains, and a journey time saving from Salisbury to Waterloo that can only be achieved by cutting out Woking and Clapham Junction stops. Railfuture is set against that and will mobilise passengers and members to say “no” when the consultation appears. Why the DfT specifies such matters which have no passenger benefit, we do not know … but we will work with First/MTR, local MP’s and rail authorities to ensure long term passenger benefits accrue.

  • The Trade of the Port of Faversham, 1650-1750
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 69 1955 THE TRADE OF THE PORT OP FAVERSHAM, 1650-1750 By J. H. ANDREWS IN the value of its trade, the size and number of its ships, and the geographical extent of its commercial connections the port of Faver- sham has never achieved more than minor importance, but in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the total volume of its traffic placed it among the leading ports of Kent, and in certain branches of the coasting trade it had few rivals anywhere in England. In the following paragraphs an attempt is made to trace the development of Faversham in the period 1650-1750, using the series of Port Books in the Public Record Office.1 These documents, although they contain very detailed lists of vessels and cargoes entering and leaving the port, cannot be accepted at their face value as a comprehensive record of the trade of Faversham Creek; and before describing their contents it will be necessary to ascertain whether any other landing places besides ' Faversham itself were included in the books, and whether there were any kinds of maritime trade which were omitted from them. The Customs port of Faversham, as delimited by an Exchequer Commission of 1676,2 included a considerable portion of the Kentish coast, stretching from Milton in the west to the North Foreland in the east, but not all this coast was covered by the Faversham port books. The trade of Margate was always recorded in the Sandwich books8 and the Commissioners were almost certainly mistaken in extending the limits of Faversham as far east as the Foreland, while Milton, which seems to have been an independent Customs port at least until 1670,4 continued for another century to keep a separate set of port books, recording not only its own trade but also that of Conyer, Upchurch, Rainham and Otterham.
