Bradley Gloucester RC&W Co.’s Diesel Multiple Units Rodger P Bradley As we know the history of the design and operation of diesel – or is it oil-engine powered? – multiple unit trains can be traced back well beyond nationalisation in 1948, although their use was not widespread in Britain until the mid 1950s. Today, we can see their most recent developments in the fixed formation sets operated over long distance routes on today’s networks, such as those of the Virgin Voyager design. It can be argued that the real ancestry can be seen in such as the experimental Michelin railcar and the Beardmore 3-car unit for the LMS in the 1930s, and the various streamlined GWR railcars of the same period. Whilst the idea of a self-propelled passenger vehicle, in the shape of numerous steam rail motors, was adopted by a number of the pre- grouping companies from around the turn of the 19th/20th century. (The earliest steam motor coach can be traced to 1847 – at the height of the so-called to modernise the rail network and its stock. ‘Railway Mania’.). However, perhaps in some ways surprisingly, the opportunity was not taken to introduce any new First of the “modern” multiple unit designs were techniques in design or construction methods, and built at Derby Works and introduced in 1954, as the majority of the early types were built on a the ‘lightweight’ series, and until 1956, only BR and traditional 57ft 0ins underframe.

Meeting this need is a priority for all of us in rail, and the desire for on-time service delivery shows in the correlation between punctuality and customer satisfaction and, in turn, the correlation between customer satisfaction and rail businesses’ revenues. It is important therefore, for the industry and the country as well as customers that we run punctual trains. We have been failing to do this for too long. After improving performance every month from 2002 – 2011, we now repeatedly miss the punctuality levels that TOCs and NR Routes agree they will deliver. The reliability of the vehicles we operate is part of that under-delivery and we have to do better. In 2013, the fleet planned a national passenger fleet performance challenge of delivering 11 500 MTIN by March 2019, a 20% improvement in reliability over this five- year control period. The reality is that we are likely to deliver only 9 000 MTIN by then.

  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
    The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.
