  • 1 the Vasculum

    1 the Vasculum

    THE VASCULUM APRIL, 1967 Vol. LII No. 1. Price 5/per annum, post free. Edited by T. C. DUNN, B.Sc. THE POPLARS, CHESTER-LE-STREET BY THE WAY Secretaries of Societies and other contributors to "The Vasculum" are invited to send their notes to the Editor before 15th June, 1967. OBITUARY NOTICE PROFESSOR JOHN WILLIAM HESLOP HARRISON, D.SC., F.R.S., F.R.S.E. On January 23rd 1967, Professor J. W. Heslop Harrison passed away at the age of 86, at his home in Birtley. After graduating at Armstrong College, University of Durham in 1903, he became a science master at Middlesbrough High School. During these school- teaching years, he carried on with his researches in his spare time. It was not long before his abilities in field studies, in both plants and insects, became widely known. It is not surprising, therefore, to find him returning to the University as a lecturer in zoology in 1919. His subsequent rise to fame was phenomenal. In 1926 he was appointed to a personal Readership in Genetics, the only one there has ever been at Newcastle. In 1927 he was appointed to the Chair of Botany, then in the very next year he gained his greatest distinction by becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society. During all this time and indeed until only a few years ago, research papers flowed from his pen at an unbelievable rate. His name must have appeared in every journal of biological subjects at one time or another. In addition, it must be remembered that he was one of the four founder editors of the "Vasculum" in 1915, one of the founder members of the Wallis Club in 1922, one of the founder members of the Northern Naturalists' Union in 1924 and the first Vice-President of the Naturalists' Trust of Northumberland and Durham.

    Passenger Information During Snow Disruption December 2010

    Passenger information during snow disruption December 2010 A Rail passenger Information during snow disruption December 2010 Headline Findings 1. The National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website appears to have coped well with very high volumes 2. The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies (TOCs) 3. The online journey planners on TOC and third-party websites did not generally reflect the contingency timetables in operation 4. Tickets continued to be available for sale online for many trains that would not run 5. Station displays appear to have reflected formal contingency timetables, except for Southeastern 6. Station displays and online Live Departure Boards did not always keep pace with events 7. The NRE call centres appear to have provided good information, but queuing times of 11 or 12 minutes were common. 1 The National Rail Enquiries appears to have coped well with very high volumes We saw no evidence that the NRE website crashed or was slower than usual, despite a large spike in volume (Chris Scoggins reported that the volume on 2 December was twice the previous record peak on 7 January 2010). 2 The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies NRE had to advise passengers not to use the journey planner for enquiries about East Coast, Southeastern and South West Trains. This was a significant failure, with three scenarios: 2a Although the journey planner showed services from a contingency timetable for East Coast on 1 and 2 December, it also showed services from the base timetable that were no longer running.

    Approval of Tyne and Wear Metro CHP Letter

    Annette Egginton Head of Competition and Consumer Policy Directorate of Railway Markets & Economics Email: [email protected] 21 September 2016 David Gibson Managing Director DB Regio Tyne and Wear Dear David Approval of DB Regio Tyne and Wear Limited (Trading as Tyne and Wear Metro) Complaints Handling Procedure (Condition 6 of the Station Licence and Passenger Train Licence) Thank you for submitting your draft Complaints Handling Procedure (CHP) for approval. A copy of your revised CHP is attached to this letter, and will be published on our website along with a copy of this letter. I confirm that we have reviewed your CHP against the 2015 “Guidance on complaints handling procedures for licence holders” (the guidance), and can confirm that your revised CHP meets the requirements of Condition 6 of your station licence and passenger train licence. We also sought views on your draft CHP from Transport Focus. We welcome the following, which we believe is likely to be positive for passengers: Your commitment to respond to 95% of web and email complaints in 5 working days and to respond to 95% of telephone, written and fax complaints within 10 working days. This is more challenging than the minimum regulatory target of responding to 95% of complaints within 20 working days; and Your commitment to ensure that, where possible, the same member of staff handles a complaint from start to finish. You have confirmed that where a complaint has not been resolved and your internal procedures have been exhausted, you will provide information on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to the complainant, in accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015.

    Review of Tyne and Wear Metro DPPP

    Annette Egginton Head of Competition and Consumer Policy Directorate of Railway Markets & Economics Email: [email protected] 28 February 2017 David Gibson Managing Director Tyne and Wear Metro Dear David Review of DB Regio Tyne and Wear Limited (Trading as Tyne and Wear Metro) Disabled Peoples Protection Policy (Condition 5 of the Station Licence and Passenger Train Licence) Thank you for providing updated versions of your Disabled People’s Protection Policy (DPPP) documents for review. A copy of your revised DPPP is attached to this letter, and will be published on our website along with a copy of this letter. I confirm that we have reviewed your DPPP against the 2009 Guidance “How to write your Disabled People’s Protection Policy: A guide for Train and Station Operators” (the Guidance) and can confirm that your revised DPPP meets the requirements of Condition 5 of your station licence and passenger train licence. We welcome your reduced notice period for assistance bookings which requires passengers to give 6 hours’ notice for assistance booking when travelling on your services. We believe this is likely to be positive for passengers. Since your DPPP was originally submitted to ORR we have had several exchanges in the intervening period in order to bring about the changes required to make it fully compliant with the Guidance. We also sought views on your policies from Transport Focus and the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (DPTAC). The main areas where you clarified your policies during our review were: Provision of ramps: The guidance states that ramps must be made available at staffed stations to provide assistance to passengers when boarding or alighting the train.
