    THE INSTITUTION OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS, LONDON. Some French Train Services and Locomotive Performances. BY C. F. BURTT, Member, Lewes. With an abstract of the discussion upon the Paper. NINETEENTH PAPER (OF TRANSACTIONS). SESSION 1913. Read on Friday, October 3rd, 1913, at Caxton Hall, Yictoria Street, Westminster. Presided oYer by Mr. William A. Lelean, MJ.Mech.E., Yice-Chairman. LONDON : gnblisbeb bp tbe Institufion 1913. Price One Shilling and Sixpence net. Downloaded from jil.sagepub.com at UNIV OF VIRGINIA on June 4, 2016 PAPER No. 19. Some French Train Services and Locomotive Performances. BY C. F. BURTT, Member, Lewes. In presenting this paper before the Institution, the author wishes to emphasisc the fact that it has not been written with a i.iew of criticising French practice-as that may be well left to the discussion-but with the idea 'ot bringing to the notice of the meeting the actual practice prevailing on the railways under consideration. To draw comparisons of the methods that prevail in one country with that of another is, in the opinion of the writer, hardly compatible with reason or justice, as the customs and requirements of one nation are frequently so entirely different from that of others. France is served by six great railway systems, each accommodating a \veil defined area which their names indi- cate; the Nord, Est, hlidi, Paris Lyon et M&ditterranCe, Paris a Orleans, and the Etat, tvhich latter serves a district situated between I3orde;iux in the west and Dieppe in the north. France is perhaps unique to the extent that being a country largely devoted to agricultural pursuits, it has few really very large towns besides Paris, Lille, Lyon, Mar- seille, Bordeaux and Nantes, and these are situated many miles apart, and in no instance excepting Bordeaux and Nantes do any two lincs serve the same district or even town of any importance from a competitive point of view.

Lisbon is a dream destination for foodies! Parts of the town will always be surprisingly hilly, however. Some of these streets have tram lines, potholes and an absence of designated bicycle lanes, so if you plan to cycle, you should be used to urban riding. Car drivers are now more often weekend cyclists and careful with cyclists, more than before. Riding on the footpaths is not recommended. Get advice at local bikeshops. There are nice and safe stretches from Baixa to Belem along the beautiful river Tejo water front known as the Poetry Bike Lane. Good spots for anyone to cycle safe are along the flat riverfront area streching from Parque das Nacoes, to the central area of Cais Sodre, where you can rent bikes. Just outside of Lisbon, you can take a free bike but often in poor condition and limited offer on trains or ferries along the coast from Estoril towards the beautiful beach of Guincho, reach Sintra , Cascais or Costa da Caparica.

Foto de Roger Conmault Prestes a completar 75 anos de serviço, o Lusitânia Expresso é o mais emblemático (e atualmente único) comboio em circulação entre Lisboa e Madrid. A sua entrada em serviço permitiu finalmente oferecer aos clientes uma operação regular e de qualidade entre as duas capitais ibéricas, algo que não se verificava desde finais de junho de 1895, quando o Sud Express desde Lisboa passou a circular via linha da Beira Alta, com ramo próprio. Se é verdade que após este acontecimento terão existido serviços de luxo entre Lisboa e Madrid, estes foram suspensos em várias ocasiões e substituídos por humildes e utilitários Expressos e Correios-Expresso, que em grande parte do percurso o eram apenas de nome, pois asseguravam um serviço ‘de cabotagem’, parando em todas as estações e apeadeiros do seu percurso, e nas fronteiras a demora seria necessariamente longa, dada a necessidade de demorados e morosos procedimentos aduaneiros, o que resultava num tempo de viagem a rondar as 17 horas, nada digno para uma relação entre capitais.

  • Issue No. 22 Autumn 2011
    www.iberianrailwayssociety.org Issue No. 22 Autumn 2011 he inaugural IRS meeting took place at the Model T Railway Club in London on 22nd February 2006, and was attended by about 20 prospective members from all around the UK. A general discussion took place and introductions, suggestions and proposals were made. At this meeting a small committee was voted on and tasked with setting up the Society on a formal basis. The Committee members are: Chairman David Stevenson Secretary Charles Phillips Journal Editor Michael Guerra Treasurer & Membership Secretary Tony Bowles (post available) Publicity & Exhibitions Myles Munsey (post available) THE BASICS The remit of the Society is to stimulate interest in and disseminate information about railways on the Iberian Peninsular and the Balearic Islands. It was felt at this time that extending this remit to Spanish and Portuguese speaking areas of the world would be too ambitious. It is proposed that a Society Journal be published four times a year and that this would be the main conduit between members. Local meetings and branches were also to be established wherever possible to encourage membership from the widest possible area. A fledgling library could be made available to members as time went on. Consideration would be given to organising trips from the UK, both formal and informal, as a way of enabling members to meet in a very convivial atmosphere and whilst indulging their passion for rail travel! MEMBERSHIP Membership was to be open to all and would entitle the member to receipt of the magazine, use of the Societies’ facilities and attendance and voting rights at an Annual General Meeting.
