  • Britain's Transition from Rail to Road-Based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA

    Britain's Transition from Rail to Road-Based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA

    ‘Food Miles’: Britain’s Transition from Rail to Road-based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA Doctor of Philosophy University of York Railway Studies September 2016 Abstract Britain’s railways were essential for the development of the British economy throughout the nineteenth century; however, by 1919 their seemingly unassailable position as goods carriers was about to be eroded by the lorry. The railway strike of September 1919 had presented traders with an opportunity to observe the capabilities of road haulage, but there is no study which focuses on the process of modal shift in goods distribution from the trader’s perspective. This thesis therefore marks an important departure from the existing literature by placing goods transport into its working context. The importance of food as an everyday essential commodity adds a further dimension to the status of goods transport within Britain’s supply chain, particularly when the fragility of food products means that minimising the impact of distance, time and spoilage before consumption is vital in ensuring effective and practical logistical solutions. These are considered in a series of four case studies on specific food commodities and retail distribution, which also hypothesise that the modal shift from rail to road reflected the changing character of transport demand between 1919 and 1975. Consequently, this thesis explores the notion that the centre of governance over the supply chain transferred between food producers, manufacturers, government and chain retailer, thereby driving changes in transport technology and practice. This thesis uses archival material to provide a qualitative study into the food industry’s relationship with transport where the case studies incorporate supply chain analyses to permit an exploration of how changes in structure might have influenced the modal shift from rail to road distribution.

Success lies in the details and advance technology www.roco.cc H0e Diesellokomotive Diesel locomotive Rh 2095, ÖBB 2 www.roco.cc H0e Von den Simmering Graz Pauker Werken wurde im Jahr 1958 auf der sogenannten „Wie- ner Herbstmesse“ erstmals eine dieselhydraulische Schmalspurlokomotiven: mit 760 mm Spurweite vorgestellt. Unter der Bezeichnung LDH 600/s wurde die 600 PS starke und rund 60 km/h schnelle Lok präsentiert. Die Konstruktion sah einen Antrieb über die mittleren Radsätze sowie Treibstangen vor. Die Österreichischen Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) testeten die Lokomotive noch im gleichen Jahr ausgiebig auf den Strecken von St. Pölten nach Mariazell und Gresten. Bereits im Dezember 1958 wurde mit der 2095.01 die erste, im Vergleich zur Prototyp-Lok umge- baute, Lok in Dienst gestellt. Damit war bei den ÖBB eine neue Loktype unter der Rei- henbezeichnung 2095 vorhanden. Weitere zwei Dieselloks folgten der ersten Maschine. Die Loks der Reihe 2095 bildeten über Jahrzehnte das Rückgrat der ÖBB auf den dieselbetriebenen Schmalspurstrecken. Sie beförderten alleine im Waldviertel täglich eine Vielzahl an Arbeitern zu ihren Betrieben. Doch auch im Güterzugverkehr und insbe- sondere im Rollbock-/Rollwagenverkehr wussten die Stangenloks zu überzeugen. Heute werden einige der Lokomotiven auf touristisch betriebenen Strecken wie der Krimmler- bahn, zwischen Zell am See und Krimml sowie auf der durch die NÖVOG betriebenen Waldviertelbahn von Gmünd aus eingesetzt. Straight from the Simmering Graz Pauker factories, a diesel hydraulic narrow gauge locomotive with a gauge of 760mm was shown for the first time at the “Vienna Autumn Fair” in 1958.

  • Level Crossing Accident at Penrhyn, Ffestiniog Railway, 6 January 2019 Important Safety Messages

    Level Crossing Accident at Penrhyn, Ffestiniog Railway, 6 January 2019 Important Safety Messages

    Level crossing accident at Penrhyn, Ffestiniog Railway, 6 January 2019 Important safety messages • This accident serves as a reminder of why it is important to follow railway rules and operating instructions. Many rules have developed from the experience of past accidents and incidents. The reason why a rule exists is not always obvious, and may have been forgotten as time passes, but the importance of complying with it does not diminish. • The consequences of a train running onto a level crossing into the path of a road vehicle can be fatal; ensuring trains stop at a ‘Stop’ board placed at a safe distance from a level crossing open to road traffic is a sensible and realistic precaution against inadvertent overruns. • It is also important that organisations have measures in place to assure themselves that rules and instructions are being followed, rather than allowing unsafe ‘custom and practice’ to develop. Summary of the accident On Sunday 6 January 2019 at around 16:30 hrs, an engineering train returning from Tan y Bwlch to Minffordd did not stop as it approached the level crossing at Penrhyn. The gates were closed across the railway, and the train struck the upper gate and pushed through it, coming to a stand part way across the crossing, fouling both carriageways of the road, the A4085. There were no injuries, and minor damage was caused to the crossing gates on the Tan y Bwlch side of the crossing. On applying the locomotive brakes with the intention of stopping short of the gate, the driver realised that the locomotive wheels had locked and that the train was continuing to move down the 1 in 80 gradient.

    OPERATIONAL RAIL VEHICLE STRATEGY 2019-2034 OPERATIONAL RAIL VEHICLE STRATEGY 2019-2034 INTRODUCTION The Science Museum Group (SMG) through the National Railway Museum (NRM) owns the largest fleet of operating historic locomotives in the United Kingdom, so it’s essential that we have a strategy to ensure the most effective and efficient use of these vehicles. The NRM, Locomotion and Science & Industry Museum in Manchester (SIM) will continue to operate a select number of rail vehicles from our collection. Showing our collections in action is one of the most direct tools we have to share our key values with visitors: revealing wonder, igniting curiosity and sharing authentic stories. What’s more, our visitors expect a train ride. We need to meet that expectation whilst managing our collection in the most professional and responsible manner. A commercially viable and deliverable plan will see a core selection of operating vehicles at York and Locomotion within the maintenance capabilities of teams at those locations. These have been chosen for reasons of accessibility, affordability, income potential, attractiveness to visitors, practicality of operation and sustainable repair as well as the railway stories they reveal. We use our rail vehicles in various ways with priority always given for static display for our visitors at York and Shildon. Other ways in which we use them are: operation on museum sites; static loans to accredited museums; operating loans to heritage railways; main line operation. Our loans reach diverse audiences across the UK, making the national collection accessible to many. These vehicles are brand ambassadors for our mission of inspiring future engineers and scientists.
  • Types of Rolling Stock

    Types of Rolling Stock

    CLASSIFICATION & NOMENCLATURE OF COACHING STOCK ROLLING STOCK Rolling stock comprises all the vehicles that move on a railway. It usually includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches and wagons. However, in some countries (like UK), the term is usually used to refer only to non-powered vehicles; specifically excluding locomotives which may be referred to as running stock, traction or motive power. CLASSIFICATION OF ROLLING STOCK Rolling stock are classified into following two groups, according to the availability of power source to move on the track SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLE: These are railway vehicles that do not require a separate power source to move over the railway track. For example- Locomotives, Rail Cars, Electrical multiple Units (EMUs), Diesel Multiple units (DMUs) Diesel Breakdown Cranes, Motor trolleys etc. NON SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLE: These are railway vehicles that need a separate power source like locomotives to move over the railway track. For example- Coaching Stock and Freight Stock FUNCTION OF ROLLING STOCK ❖ Locomotives: These are source of power used to haul a train, a coach or a wagon etc. ❖ Coaching stock: Coaching stocks are used for transporting passengers. ❖ Freight Stock: Freight Stocks (Wagon) are used mainly for transporting goods and live stocks etc. ❖ Diesel/ Steam Break down Crane: These are rail mobile cranes used in case of railway accident for lifting loads, derailed wagon or coaches. Diesel/ Steam Break down Crane are part of accident relief trains which are used for rescue & restoration operation. ❖ Motor trolleys: These are used for inspection of railway track by staff of engineering department.
