    Metro-Cammell Diesel-Electric Pullman Trains by R

    Metro-Cammell Diesel-Electric Pullman Trains By R. P. Bradley On 24 June 1960 a demonstration run of BR's diesel-electric Pullman train took place between Marylebone and High Wycombe. The six and eight-car trains were designed and built by the Metropolitan-Cammell Carriage & Wagon Co. for the Pullman Car Company, to be operated on the LMR and WR respectively. The Railway Gazette used an interesting phrase as it reported the new arrivals; "The term de-luxe applied by the British Transport Commission to the new diesel- electric Pullman multiple- unit trains which begin operations shortly in the London Midland and Western Regions of British Railways suggests an over-abundance of rare but desirable qualities which are not necessary for life." The British Transport Commission’s Press Release for 23rd June 1960 described them as: “These 90 mph de-luxe diesel expresses - there are five of them altogether-are of an entirely new type designed to bring a fresh conception of main-line railway passenger travel to Britain, with superior standards of comfort, and a personal service of' meals and refreshments for all passengers.” A brief look at the internal appointments of these trains certainly lends weight to those ideas. One of the 8-car Western Region units on the Bristol Pullman. The reasoning behind the introduction of these units was basically to attract the businessman to rail travel; or perhaps to return to rail travel, for BR had by 1960 to be on a competitive footing with air transport. The new Metro- Cammell pullmans were prestigious trains, and turned out in a striking blue and white livery.

Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

Foreword – Pullman Attendant by Bert Hollick, 1991 In 1935, fifteen year old Bert Hollick signed on at Brighton Station for his first shift on a Pullman Train. Working on the midnight shift from Victoria to Brighton including the famous Brighton Belle, he learned to ladle soup from a tureen at seventy-five miles per hour and serve a three-course lunch in a speedy fifty-eight minutes. Bert’s life story is told in a style that conveys wonderfully the atmosphere of the Pullman Cars, as well as providing interesting factual details of railway life. Bert worked at a time when a twelve to fourteen hour day was commonplace, and wages were a meagre £2 a week, despite providing a luxury service to everyday travellers.

Starting its working life on the London & South Western Railway as Third Class Brake coach in October 1905, and formed part of a four coach set. Between 1927 and 1928 many of the four coach sets were converted into three coach ‘DC’ electric units and two coach trailer sets. The coach bodies were mounted on new longer 62 foot underframes, the original L&SWR underframes of 49 foot and 51 foot were not scrapped. In April 1928 authorisation was given to Ashford works to undertake the construction of fifty ‘GANGWAYED BOGIE LUGGAGE VAN’s’ (GBL). Construction commenced in March 1930 through to October 1930. The GBL’s were allocated the numbers 2281 to 2330. Authorisation was given in April 1929 for Ashford works to construct a further forty GBL’s. Construction commenced in November 1930 through to May 1931 with the allocation of numbers No.2331 to 2370. This was followed by a further thirty GBL’s being authorised for Ashford works to construct in April 1930, with construction commencing in July 1931 through to September 1931. The first twenty one (No.2461 to 2481) to diagram number 3099 were fifty three feet three inches long and the remaining nine (No.2482 to 2490) to diagram number 3098 were fifty one feet three inches long.
  • 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.

    Highland Chieftain Welcomes Azuma to the Clan

    Highland Chieftain welcomes Azuma to the clan December 10, 2019 London North Eastern Railway (LNER) is celebrating the arrival of Azuma services on its Highland Chieftain route between Inverness and London King’s Cross. Inverness is the latest destination in Scotland to benefit from the arrival of the world-class Azuma trains, which are transforming travel for customers and communities along the East Coast route. David Horne, Managing Director of LNER, said: “As our northern-most destination we are proud to be introducing our revolutionary Azuma services on this key route connecting Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands, with Edinburgh and London. “Renowned for their magnificent mountains, mysterious lochs and ancient castles, the Scottish Highlands are famous throughout the world for their rich history and proud traditions and what better way to travel there in style and speed than on our Highland Chieftain service with our Azuma trains.” LNER operates The Highland Chieftain service in both directions every day between Inverness and London King’s Cross. The inaugural northbound Azuma service arrived on Monday evening and the first southbound Azuma will depart on Tuesday 10 December 2019 at 07:55. The new bi-mode Azuma trains are replacing LNER’s diesel High Speed Trains (HSTs) which have served the Inverness route for more almost four decades. The Azuma boasts some of the most innovative features of modern passenger trains, offering customers ergonomically designed seats for comfort, as well as a system making it even easier to identify available and reserved seats. The train also offers the very best in on-board catering for customers in First Class or Standard.
