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. -

Railways List
A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened. -

Michalu Drábkovi, Ph.D., a Ing. Zdeňku Michlovi za odborné vedení práce, množství rad a konzultací, které mi byly při tvorbě práce velice nápomocny. Zvláštní poděkování náleží Ing. Jiřímu Pohlovi ze společnosti Siemens Česká republika za cenné rady a připomínky z praktického provozu a pomoc při výpočtech v praktické části práce. Poděkování patří i všem kolegům ze školy a vlastní rodině, která mě při studiu a tvorbě bakalářské práce podporovala. 3 ABSTRAKT Tato práce je zaměřena na představení vývoje dvouzdrojových lokomotiv a srovnání s konvenčními lokomotivami, především dieselelektrickými. Dále jsou na příkladech z praktického provozu nákladních vlaků vyjádřeny rozdíly v nákladech na provoz dvouzdrojové a konvenční lokomotivy, včetně výhod a nevýhod jejich využití. V závěru práce jsou zhodnoceny ekonomické a další přínosy dvouzdrojových lokomotiv a doporučení jejich vhodného nasazení. KLÍČOVÁ SLOVA Dieselová lokomotiva, dvouzdrojová lokomotiva, ekonomika provozu, nákladní doprava, nákladní vlak, železniční doprava ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on development of dual-mode locomotives and comparison with conventional locomotives, especially diesel-electric. On the examples from real operation, the calculation of operating costs for both types of locomotives was made. In the next part of the thesis, the advantages and disadvantages of using dual-mode -

The recent spell of glorious weather prompts thoughts about the impact of climate on history. The great threat to local communities before modern times was harvest failure. Crisis mortality rates were often the result, not just of outbreaks of deadly disease; and the two sometimes combined. Cattle droving was fundamentally affected by climate, only getting underway sometime from mid-April once grass growth removed the need to use hay as fodder. Bees have rarely had such a good start as this year to their foraging season, reminding us of the significance of honey as the major sweetener before sugar became widely used. Cane sugar was first grown by the Portuguese in Brazil during the 16th century but entered the British market from the Caribbean only from 1650. Not until well beyond 1700 was it cheap enough to rival honey. The numerous bee boles and other shelters for straw skeps (hives) in Cumbria pay tribute to the care with which bees were kept. Beekeeping was no mere pastime but an activity of considerable economic significance. -
