  • Walks Programme: July to September 2021
    LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below.

  • Railways: Thameslink Infrastructure Project
    Railways: Thameslink infrastructure project Standard Note: SN1537 Last updated: 26 January 2012 Author: Louise Butcher Section Business and Transport This note describes the Thameslink infrastructure project, including information on how the scheme got off the ground, construction issues and the policy of successive government towards the project. It does not deal with the controversial Thameslink rolling project to purchase new trains to run on the route. This is covered in HC Library note SN3146. The re- let of the Thameslink passenger franchise is covered in SN1343, both available on the Railways topical page of the Parliament website. The Thameslink project involves electrification, signalling and new track works. This will increase capacity, reduce journey times and generally expand the current Thameslink route through central London and across the South East of England. On completion in 2018, up to 24 trains per hour will operate through central London, reducing the need for interchange onto London Underground services. The project dates back to the Conservative Government in the mid-1990s. It underwent a lengthy public inquiry process under the Labour Government and has been continued by the Coalition Government. However, the scheme will not be complete until 2018 – 14 years later than its supporters had hoped when the scheme was initially proposed. Contents 1 Where things stand: Thameslink in 2012 2 2 Scheme generation and development, 1995-2007 3 2.1 Transport and Works Act (TWA) Order application, 1997 5 2.2 Revised TWA Order application, 1999 6 2.3 Public Inquiry, 2000-2006 6 2.4 New Thameslink station at St Pancras 7 This information is provided to Members of Parliament in support of their parliamentary duties and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual.

  • SP4 - 11/12 Drawings of Some Special Assemblies Designed and Built for the Blackfriars Project in 2012
    New Blackfriars Station Blackfriars Station is a complex, Network Rail and London Underground (LUL) station interchange in the heart of London, which has recently undergone extensive redevelopment. Its Network Rail platforms have been extended and span the River Thames a short distance from Blackfriars Bridge. The north bank entrance is on Queen Victoria Street and a new entrance on the south bank was opened in December 2011. At the same time, the Underground station was closed for nearly three years (from March 2009 until February 2012) to enable major engineering works to be carried out, allowing the Network Rail and LUL lines to share the same ticket hall and other services. Not only did Balfour Beatty (the Main Contractor) have to meet the many technical and logistical challenges associated with carrying out a fast track, major construction project in central London, they also had to meet the many electrical challenges arising from an installation involving Network Rail “Third Rail” traction supplies and London Underground’s Section 12 requirements for underground stations. Fortunately, Blakley Electrics were on hand to assist! Third Rail Locations In areas within 30 metres of the Third Rail, Network Rail specify that RCDs are classified “DC Immune”, as made by Blakley Electrics. Unlike standard RCDs, DC Immune RCDs are not desensitised by the presence of relatively small DC leakage currents, which saturate the magnetic circuit of standard RCDs and prevents them from tripping. DC Immune RCDs normally protect single ring main circuits. However, due to the high number of circuits to be protected and the tight space constraints, multi-way, DP, DC Immune RCD assemblies were supplied.
