  • The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line

    The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line

    THE EVOLUTION OF TRAIN SERVICES ON THE MET AND GC LINE by Eric Stuart (Readers may find reference to the Four-Tracking article in the July 2018 issue of Underground News helpful) After the Great Central (GC) arrived at Quainton Road and the service south thereof became established, both the GC and the Metropolitan Railway (Met.) provided services. However, the personalities at the heads of the two companies did not enjoy the best of relationships. Matters came to a head when a GC train crashed when failing to reduce speed over the (then) reverse curve into Aylesbury station in 1904. About that time, both the leaders retired and a period of better relations between the companies began. On 2 April 1906, the Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway (MGCJR) was created. This latter took over the lines of the Metropolitan Railway north and west of Harrow South Junction, with the exception of the branch to Uxbridge. These included the main line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Verney Junction and the branch from Chalfont & Latimer to Chesham. The MGCJR was created under the terms of the Metropolitan & Great Central Railway Act, which received Royal Assent on 4 August 1905. At the same time, the Great Central and Great Western Joint Railway was formed, covering the lines south of Aylesbury via Princes Risborough to Northolt Junction. This was the result of a new line that aided the GC by partly avoiding congestion on the Met. and also giving the Great Western a shorter route to Birmingham1. One curiosity was that a Joint Committee was set up to manage a new Aylesbury station, jointly owned by two joint railways! Some points on terminology: The new line was commonly called just ‘The Joint Line’ and, even in later LT days, some staff still belonged to a particular class that made them feel superior to others2.

    Family History Research at London Transport Museum

    Family history research at London Transport Museum Introduction This factsheet is for family historians researching ancestors who have connections with public transport in London. Many thousands of people have been employed across the different modes of transport over the years, but unfortunately relatively few records survive because there is no business or statutory requirement to keep them beyond a few years. The guide to sources below is designed to help you identify surviving records that may be related to your research. It tells you where they are located and how you can access them. Questions at the end of this factsheet may also help you get started on your family history journey. Museum Library London Transport Museum Library, Albany House, 98 Petty France, London SW1H 9EA You may want to visit the Library as part of your research. Information about our collection and how to contact us or arrange a visit is on our Library page on the Museum website. Where to start To find relevant staff records, you first need to identify which company your ancestor might have worked for and the years when they may have been employed there. The London Passenger Transport Board (also known as London Transport) was formed in 1933. Before then, public transport in London was run by many different companies operating the buses, trams and underground railway lines. You might know your ancestor’s job from a certificate or photograph. If you know where they lived in London, you could use that as a starting point to identify their employer. Be aware though that in the past people often walked long distances to go to work.
  • Retro Underground: the Seventies to the Noughties – 3

    Retro Underground: the Seventies to the Noughties – 3

    RETRO UNDERGROUND: THE SEVENTIES TO THE NOUGHTIES – 3. OTHER EVENTS by Tony Morgan My earliest memories of the Underground are during the Second World War travelling from Kingsbury on the Bakerloo Line into London and sometimes on to Kent on the Southern Railway to visit relations. In 1968, after ten years of driving to North Acton, I started commuting in to Great Portland Street. While I was there the second section of the Victoria Line opened as far as Warren Street. One lunchtime I decided to have a quick trip on it. The 1967 Stock train came in to reverse back. The Train Operator was standing in the cab with his back to the direction of travel as the ATO stopped the train. Maybe this was being done to build confidence in the new control system. Travelling home one day from Great Portland Street I saw the latest LT Magazine on display in the ticket office. I then started buying it on a regular basis. The front cover of that first edition had a photograph of the C69 Stock about to be introduced on the Circle Line on it. From that magazine I found out about ‘The Last Drop’ event at Neasden Depot, on Sunday 6 June 1971 advertised, which celebrated the end of use of steam locomotives for engineers’ operations. There I joined the Society because of their Sales Stand. This was my first organised event. At this event all three remaining locomotives were in steam. L94 hauled a rake of engineers’ vehicles from the City and pulled into one of two Klondyke Sidings in Neasden depot.

    The London Underground: Driving London to New Possibilities

    The London Underground: Driving London to New Possibilities Aram Soultanian London HUA 2900 Dr. David Spanagel & Esther Boucher-Yip 6/20/18 1 Soultanian The London Underground, or better known as the “Tube,” is known as a across the world, but its fascinating construction, history, and successes are often untold. Every day, over three million passengers ride on the London Underground, amounting to 1.37 billion passenger rides annually. Although it is known as the London Underground, only 45% of its railway network is actually underground as many of the outer city lines run above ground. Built, even before electricity, in 1863, the London Underground was the world’s first underground railway and now ranks as the fourth largest underground metro system in the world. The Underground originally began as a six kilometer-long track and consisted of only six stations. Most of the tunnels were built and financed by the Metropolitan Railway Company within the first 50 years of construction. Today, the London Underground has expanded to 11 rail lines, 270 stations across 402 kilometers of rail. Utilizing unique architecture and technology, none of the structures of the original stations between Farringdon and Paddington still stand today. However, the construction of these tracks and stations not only gave rise to engineering marvels that saved the lives of millions of Londoners during the World Wars, but it also facilitated London’s manufacturing, economy, technology, and social ties in Victorian England, the effects of which reverberated through London and across England. In this paper, I will argue that the presence of the London Underground system precipitated London’s rise as a prosperous metropolitan city and financial epicenter.

    A REPORT BY SAWTAG OPPOSING THE CLOSURE OF WATFORD METROPOLITAN STATION AND ITS ASSOCIATED ROUTE. ALL OF THESE ARE TO BE SAFEGUARDED UNDER EXTRACTED GOVERNMENT POLICY. This report opposes the closure of Watford (Metropolitan Line) Station on three major grounds. 1 Retaining peak, football and special traffic, and positively building up traffic. Both the Metropolitan Line and WCML/Watford Suburban Lines serve nearby Wembley Stadium extremely well already. Also, train portion working must be advanced to best practice elsewhere. 2 Facilitating the forming of an extended London Overground network, through the extracted Government Policy of better protection, critical in developing rail infrastructure and interchange. 3 Essential safeguards are to be put in place to protect the truncated alignment through Watford (Metropolitan Line) Station. Firstly , it is essential the latter station is retained at least for continued peak hours services, in view of the steadily increasing peak and general use of both the London Metropolitan Underground and Network Rail West Coast Main Line centered system. Safeguarding is also essential in order to serve during the interim for Watford Football Club traffic attending the Vicarage Road Stadium. Pending the establishment of a new station; immediately South of the Stadium on the new Croxley Link Line; Watford (Met) Station is to be kept open for both peak and Football traffic with requisite direct connecting buses. These connecting buses will run from a retained Watford Metropolitan Station direct to the Stadium. There was a railway triangle immediately South of the Stadium, and Croxley Moor alternatives (reference no. 8) to the Croxley Link Project; investigated both linking the Rickmansworth LNWR branch corridor west to the Rickmansworth (Met) Main Line towards Aylesbury, and generally reinstating the pre-Beeching railway triangle inter alia.
