Still I’m happy, as with the chance of frosts now virtually gone, I finally got round to planting (127 plants) newly dug borders (well more like small gardens !!) just before the rain came...very handy. Because of that, I’ve not been near a railway since 19 April, so it will be pleasing to get out when I head back to south coast for a week in middle of June. It will be interesting to see what changes have occurred since 20 May timetable change and catch up with rolling stock movements.

  • Waste Technical Paper
    Waste Technical Paper LOCAL PLAN SUPPORTING STUDY 2017 48. Waste Technical Paper Document Title Waste Technical Paper Lead Author Anthesis Purpose of the Study To provide an up-to-date waste evidence base for the Western Riv- erside Waste Planning Authorities (RB Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham/OPDC, Wandsworth and Lambeth) to support meeting waste apportionment targets, as required in par- agraph 5.80 of the Mayor’s London Plan (2015), and the manage- ment of other arisings, as required by the National Planning Policy for Waste (NPPW). Key outputs • Identifies waste management capacity in the Western • Riverside area. • Models whether there is enough capacity to meet the • London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham’s apportionment and other waste arisings, taking into account changes over time (i.e. site closures). • Examines where waste imported from and exported to. Key recommendations • The Powerday waste site will need to be safeguarded to meet the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham’s waste ap- portionment for Household and Commercial & Industrial waste. • All the Low level Radioactive waste generated (8,607,810 MBq in 2013) is disposed of by air or through wastewater. • Therefore, there is no requirement for additional facilities. • No waste from agricultural sources has been reported in the area, so there is no need for facilities to manage this. • There is around 90ktpa (kilo tonnes per annum) of permitted hazardous waste capacity within the WRWA area. This exceeds the waste arisings forecast and therefore no provision needs to be made for additional capacity. • The planned upgrade to Beckton Sewage Treatment work will create sufficient capacity for population growth in the • catchment area up to 2035, and therefore no additional facilities are required.

  • News on Behalf Of………
    News on behalf of……… ZONEGREEN TRANSPORTS HISTORIC DEPOT TO CUTTING EDGE Sheffield-based Zonegreen has installed its very latest rail safety technology at a depot famed for servicing steam locomotives. London’s Battersea Stewarts Lane facility has become the first in the UK to benefit from a contactless version of Zonegreen’s flagship Depot Personnel Protection System (DPPS). The Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) depot in Battersea, which dates back to 1862, is renowned for housing the pullman carriages used on the Orient Express, alongside other steam engines, as well as the Southern and Gatwick Express fleets. DPPS has been installed on 14 roads in the main shed to replace an obsolete PLC system, and is interlocked with the traction power supply, preventing vehicle movements unless the third rail is live, to mitigate the risk of bridging an isolated section. Zonegreen’s technology allows the safe and efficient movement of vehicles around the facility, whilst providing physical protection to maintenance personnel. Staff at Stewarts Lane are the first to use the firm’s new personalised RFID cards, providing a fast, contactless and reliable method of logging onto the system and start work. The system is flexible and easily configured using a drag and drop interface, whilst the upgraded RFID control panels, which have been more than five years in development, offer a range of increased functionality. The panels have been independently certified to be EMC compliant (electromagnetic compatibility), ensuring their radio frequency range will not interfere with telecommunication or electrical devices. This is critical in a depot environment, where there are many complex pieces of equipment, including the trains themselves.

This area was designated in relation to the river Thames floodplain and archaeological activity associated with and around it. The site had a low potential for prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval period archaeology. Most of the site was open marshland until its final reclamation in the first half of the 20th century. Only the two northern ends of the east and west leg of the proposed road fell within field boundaries adjacent to the north of the marsh wall. The road corridor was unlikely to truncate potential archaeological deposits to any large degree.
