Retro Underground: the Seventies to the Noughties – 3
RETRO UNDERGROUND: THE SEVENTIES TO THE NOUGHTIES – 3. OTHER EVENTS by Tony Morgan My earliest memories of the Underground are during the Second World War travelling from Kingsbury on the Bakerloo Line into London and sometimes on to Kent on the Southern Railway to visit relations. In 1968, after ten years of driving to North Acton, I started commuting in to Great Portland Street. While I was there the second section of the Victoria Line opened as far as Warren Street. One lunchtime I decided to have a quick trip on it. The 1967 Stock train came in to reverse back. The Train Operator was standing in the cab with his back to the direction of travel as the ATO stopped the train. Maybe this was being done to build confidence in the new control system. Travelling home one day from Great Portland Street I saw the latest LT Magazine on display in the ticket office. I then started buying it on a regular basis. The front cover of that first edition had a photograph of the C69 Stock about to be introduced on the Circle Line on it. From that magazine I found out about ‘The Last Drop’ event at Neasden Depot, on Sunday 6 June 1971 advertised, which celebrated the end of use of steam locomotives for engineers’ operations. There I joined the Society because of their Sales Stand. This was my first organised event. At this event all three remaining locomotives were in steam. L94 hauled a rake of engineers’ vehicles from the City and pulled into one of two Klondyke Sidings in Neasden depot. -

Abbey Line Report 060615
Hertfordshire County Council Abbey Line Passenger Survey FINAL REPORT June 2006 The Railway Consultancy Ltd 1st Floor, South Tower Crystal Palace Station London SE19 2AZ Tel. 020-8676 0395 Fax. 020-8778 7439 1 Executive Summary E1 The Abbey Line between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey is a single-track Community Rail Partnership (CRP) line. Although currently operated by Silverlink, the line is to be part of the new West Midlands franchise, due to commence on 11 November 2007. The Community Rail Partnership is seeking to increase the frequency of services on the route, to a half-hourly level, thus requiring a second trainset and passing loop to be installed. The CRP therefore commissioned The Railway Consultancy to undertake a series of passenger counts and surveys of passenger travel patterns, in order to provide a basis on which business planning might be undertaken. E2 Analysis of passenger usage on the line was based upon surveying all weekday and weekend services once during May 2006. This encompassed the counting and alighting of boarders at every Abbey Line station and a series of on-train counts. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed to passengers. A total of 1300 forms were distributed; by the closing date of 9 th June 2006, a total of 496 survey forms were returned completed, representing a response rate of 38%. E3 Count data across the survey period revealed that passenger numbers on the line were somewhat disappointing. The total number of boarders (i.e. across both directions) for weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays were respectively around 1300, 1000 and 450 per day. -

Tokyngton Wards Are Major Destinations in Themselves in Addition to Being Residential Areas
ELECTORAL REVIEW OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BRENT WARDING PATTERN SUBMISSION BY THE BRENT CONSERVATIVE GROUP RESPONSE TO THE LGBCE CONSULTATION NOVEMBER 2018 1 | P a g e Introduction Why Brent? During the current London Government Boundary Commission Executive (LGBCE) review process, it has become clear to us that since the previous review in 2000, warding levels have developed out of balance. Brent Council meets the Commission’s criteria for electoral inequality with 7 wards having a variance outside 10%. The outliers are Brondesbury Park at -16% and Tokyngton at 28%. Electoral review process The electoral review will have two distinct parts: Council size – The Brent conservative group welcomes to reduce the number of councillors to 57 from current 63. We appreciate that this will require some existing wards to be redrawn, and recognise that this will represent an opportunity to examine whether the existing boundaries are an appropriate reflection of how Brent has developed since 2000. In addition, the establishment of new developments such as South Kilburn Regeneration, Wembley Regeneration, Alperton and Burnt Oak and Colindale area. Ward boundaries – The Commission will re-draw ward boundaries so that they meet their statutory criteria. Should the Commission require any further detail on our scheme we would be very happy to pass on additional information or to arrange a meeting with Commission members or officers to run through the proposals. 2 | P a g e Interests & identities of local communities The Commission will be looking for evidence on a range of issues to support our reasoning. The best evidence for community identity is normally a combination of factual information such as the existence of communication links, facilities and organisations along with an explanation of how local people use those facilities. -

Class 313 User Manual
OPERATIONAL NOTICE Temporary Working for Silverlink Class 313 EMUs on the North and West London Lines Issued on: 12/06/2006 Valid until: UFN Issued by: John Maninsuit Page 1 of 12 The Route The North London Line and West London Line for BVE is an early beta. This route will eventually continue on to North Woolwich with the addition of other features planned in the future. It is modelled as it would have looked during 2004 – 2006 in the height of the Silverlink Metro era just before the closure of the section to North Woolwich. In 2007 it became part of TFL as part of their London Overground network and was extensively modernised beyond recognition shortly thereafter. The Train Our train is a class 313 EMU built by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) at the Holgate Road Carriage Works between 1976 and 1977. Originally designed for the Great Northern lines, they were used on various routes during their many years of service. Some were transferred to the North London Line during the 1980s and were inherited by Silverlink Trains after privatisation. In addition, these trains are used on the West London and Watford DC Lines as well as the St Albans Abbey – Watford Junction service. Controls (default keys) In addition to the default keys within BVE there are additional features on this train. Most of these are similar to standard BR stock within BVE. The specific details are as follows: Key Function 2 Pan Down 3 AC Mode Select/Dual Voltage Alarm Cancel 4 Tail lights On/Off 5 Headlamp/Marker lights On/Off 6 Driver/Guard Bell 7 Wind Destination Blind Forward 9 Pan Up/Set Reset End Instrument Lights On/Off Insert Acknowledge AWS & TPWS Page up TPWS Temporary Override/Tripcock Reset Page Down Key Out/Set Cut Out (DC Mode only) Space DRA On/Off This guide assumes you are using the default keys assigned by BVE. -
