  • Passenger Information During Snow Disruption December 2010
    Passenger information during snow disruption December 2010 A Rail passenger Information during snow disruption December 2010 Headline Findings 1. The National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website appears to have coped well with very high volumes 2. The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies (TOCs) 3. The online journey planners on TOC and third-party websites did not generally reflect the contingency timetables in operation 4. Tickets continued to be available for sale online for many trains that would not run 5. Station displays appear to have reflected formal contingency timetables, except for Southeastern 6. Station displays and online Live Departure Boards did not always keep pace with events 7. The NRE call centres appear to have provided good information, but queuing times of 11 or 12 minutes were common. 1 The National Rail Enquiries appears to have coped well with very high volumes We saw no evidence that the NRE website crashed or was slower than usual, despite a large spike in volume (Chris Scoggins reported that the volume on 2 December was twice the previous record peak on 7 January 2010). 2 The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies NRE had to advise passengers not to use the journey planner for enquiries about East Coast, Southeastern and South West Trains. This was a significant failure, with three scenarios: 2a Although the journey planner showed services from a contingency timetable for East Coast on 1 and 2 December, it also showed services from the base timetable that were no longer running.

  • 2012 ELECTRAIL COLOUR SLIDES LIST 30 Page 3
    Page 1 Page 1 ELECTRAIL COLOUR SLIDES List 30 List 30 01/02/12 Electric Railway Society, 17 Catherine Drive, SUTTON COLDFIELD, England, B73 6AX. ELECTRAIL is a range of colour slides depicting tramcars in Britain and overseas, electric trains, and coastal pleasure steamers – especially those that connected with electrified railway routes such as along the Clyde Estuary or along the South Coast of England. The slides are 35mm colour images generally mounted in plastic mounts measuring 2” x 2”. A very few of our earliest views are in card mounts of the same size. It is now becoming difficult to find photographic labs that are capable of producing these copy slides in quite large numbers at a reasonable cost and as a result the stocks of most of the slides contained in this list are becoming low and it will be impossible to obtain more copies of many of them. Where stocks are particularly low this is indicated in the list. UK orders. Please send to address at top of this page. Each slide costs 30p and cheques should be made payable to “Electric Railway Society”. Orders sent to UK addresses are post free. Overseas orders. Slides cost 30p each. The cost of processing cheques drawn on an overseas bank is prohibitive but cheques drawn on a UK bank are accepted. An inexpensive means of payment from the nations using the Euro, the US $, or the Canadian $ is to enclose pay for the order using €, US$ or Can $ currency notes. Please do not use coins since these can go missing in the post.

  • 2021 Book News Welcome to Our 2021 Book News
    2021 Book News Welcome to our 2021 Book News. As we come towards the end of a very strange year we hope that you’ve managed to get this far relatively unscathed. It’s been a very challenging time for us all and we’re just relieved that, so far, we’re mostly all in one piece. While we were closed over lockdown, Mark took on the challenge of digitalising some of Venture’s back catalogue producing over 20 downloadable books of some of our most popular titles. Thanks to the kind donations of our customers we managed to raise over £3000 for The Christie which was then matched pound for pound by a very good friend taking the total to almost £7000. There is still time to donate and download these books, just click on the downloads page on our website for the full list. We’re still operating with reduced numbers in the building at any one time. We’ve re-organised our schedules for packers and office staff to enable us to get orders out as fast as we can, but we’re also relying on carriers and suppliers. Many of the publishers whose titles we stock are small societies or one-man operations so please be aware of the longer lead times when placing orders for Christmas presents. The last posting dates for Christmas are listed on page 63 along with all the updates in light of the current Covid situation and also the impending Brexit deadline. In particular, please note the change to our order and payment processing which was introduced on 1st July 2020.

PDF-200-1 3 The Stage Waggon Getting Around Before The 1700's Up until the latter part of the 1500's the only reliable form of passenger transport was the horse; although rudimentary carts and waggons existed they were not generally used as public transport.

    PREFACE TO 1895 EDITION, OUTLINE OF CONTENTS & INDEX TO COMPANIES LISTED IN 1895 By 1895 the Stock Exchange Official Yearbook had settled into a format that it was to stay with for the duration.

PREFACE. The year 1894 has not proved so favourable to business as was expected. This is chiefly due to the further considerable decline in the prices of natural products, and to some extent to the difficulty in bringing to a conclusion the tariff and other reforms in the United States to which President Cleveland had put his hand.

But it is generally admitted that the worst is now more than over. This is an immense gain in itself, especially as regards Stock Exchange securities, amongst which selling from fear or necessity no sooner ceases than an upward movement on some scale sets in. A year ago we had to report a further considerable fall in the aggregate of Stock Exchange values; but for 1894 there has been a rise in prices which more than outsets the decline then reported, and to all appearance the upward movement is still in progress.
