  • Newsletter of Railfuture in Wales
    Issue 64 Spring 2018 Rail Wales Newsletter of Railfuture in Wales A sign of the changing times: a HST 125 enters Cardiff Central in January 2018 shortly after the first electrification masts had been installed. By the end of 2018 the new bi mode trains supplied by Hitachi should have replaced the 40-year-old HSTs on the Swansea-London route. Photo: Julian Langston Rail Wales issue 64 Spring 2018 www.railfuturewales.org.uk Page 1 WELCOME Rail Wales is published every six months and looking back at events since the last issue, it sometimes seems that the fast pace of significant news would require a weekly issue to keep Railfuture members up to date with the ever-evolving rail scene. Needless to say, the ongoing saga of the letting of the Wales and Borders franchise provides the main focus of attention. Shortly before the last issue of Rail Wales appeared, Arriva announced that it was withdrawing from the bidding process. This reduced the bidders to three. However, the withdrawal of a second bidder in February 2018 was not as a result of that company (Abellio) deciding to walk away but as a result of the financial collapse of its civil engineering partner, Carillion. The two bidders still standing are Keolis and MTR. With only two companies now competing, this weakens the hand of Transport for Wales (the organisation set up by the Welsh Government to undertake the selection of the new operator) to obtain the best outcome. It is hoped that the ongoing discussions, which are nearing conclusion, will result in a franchise award which provides existing and potential new rail users in Wales and adjacent areas of England with a markedly improved service in terms of service frequency, reliability, comfort and value for money.

This is presumed to be the livery used across all rolling stock, with doors in red. IT’S JAM TOMORROW (WITH TOMORROW BEING 2022 ONWARD) SAYS THE WELSH GOVERNMENT KeloisAmey “win” the Wales and Border franchise contract After waiting nearly 15 years for some common sense to be injected into the railways of Wales and the Borders, we finally got to find out the culmination of the Welsh Government’s secretive procurement process for the franchise to replace Arriva Trains Wales much maligned operation on Monday 4th June. If you want to read the waffle about how great it all is and what jolly good chaps the Welsh Government and KeolisAmey are, then the official press releases and Ministerial Statements can be found online.

  • Introduction to Heritage Assets: Signal Boxes
    Signal Boxes Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. We have a rich heritage of railway buildings, some over 180 years old. This guide gives an overview of one of the most distinctive types, the signal box. These evolved at the beginning of the 1860s from huts and towers housing railway policemen. They comprised an elevated and well-glazed operating room with levers controlling points and signals, and a locking room below with the lower part of the lever frame. As with stations, the different railway companies had their own distinctive designs and liveries, and while most were of a fairly standard design, some signal boxes were one-offs, especially at major stations. There were still over 10,000 mechanical boxes in 1948 but numbers then fell, to 4,000 by 1970 and perhaps tenth of that today. Changing technologies mean there will be hardly any historic signal boxes remaining in active use on the public rail network in twenty years’ time. This guidance note has been written by John Minnis and edited by Paul Stamper.
