Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034 Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034
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.

Derwent Valley Line Community Rail Partnership Annual Report 2018-2019
Derwent Valley Line Community Rail Partnership Annual Report 2018-2019 Read About: Restoring historic stations Station adoption projects Improved access to Whatstandwell Marketing initiatives Derby Resignalling project Whistlestop Café opens at Matlock Bath Station In Bloom Award for Belper Duffield Station Garden completed Whatstandwell Access Improvements Launch of Pentrich Revolution Bicentenary Panel Whatstandwell Station Landscaping Message from the Chair This last year has seen major investment, but also significant disruption of the local railway network in and around Derby. These major projects need to take place and from what I saw and understand, the major upgrade to both Derby station and re-signalling all went to plan. The Derwent Valley Line and our passengers were arguably impacted upon more, than any other route. Yet an enhanced level of rail replacement services for the Derwent Valley, which was well organised and promoted, helped to minimise the impact. During the line closure, I am especially pleased that opportunities have been taken locally to carry out significant improvements at local stations to benefit our passengers. The fantastic restoration of the Whistlestop at Matlock Bath, canopy refurbishment at Matlock, platform enhancements at Cromford and smaller scale improvements and maintenance at Whatstandwell, have all made a real positive impact at our stations. Considerable work has gone on behind the scenes by the Community Rail Partnership working with the rail industry and other local stakeholders to ensure that these local enhancements took place, during this window of opportunity. The partnership has also obtained significant funding to help make many of these projects happen. Working with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, we have brought an additional £40,000 through the rail industry to match Heritage Lottery and others, to enable the long awaited regeneration of the station building.

This consultation seeks views on draft regulations concerning the interoperability of the railways. These regulations are necessary to meet the requirements of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC which recast earlier versions and the deadline for implementation was 19 July 2010. The recast Directive contained new provisions for type authorisation of vehicles. It also has provisions for the reauthorisation process for vehicles authorised in another Member State which have been moved from the 2004 Safety Directive into the Interoperability Directive. ii.) The draft regulations will implement the Directive for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reauthorisation of vehicles for the UK half of the Channel Tunnel are dealt with in bi-national safety regulations. All other requirements in the Directive in relation to the Tunnel will be implemented through these draft interoperability regulations. iii.) This consultation builds on two earlier rounds of consultation which were published by the Department in 2009 and 2010.
