Great Central Railway LNER STATIONS Part 2 GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY LENS OF SUTTON ASSOCIATION List 2B (Issue 1 Jan 2019) Grimsby Town 1937 (66446 AW Croughton Collection) GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY The Great Central was originally a purely northern line, although it later developed into a long- distance system serving destinations such as London, Leicester, Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Grimsby and Wrexham. The company had interests in a number of joint routes, including the Great Western & Great Central (GW&GC), Metropolitan & Great Central (MET&GC), Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) and Manchester South Junction & Altrincham (MSJ&A) lines. 11195 GCR Akeman Street Pregrouping view, circa 1912, showing the station from the nearby roadway. 35562 GCR Akeman Street Post-closure view, circa 1960s, showing the station building. 35563 GCR Akeman Street Post-closure view, circa 1960s, showing the station building. 36258 GCR Akeman Street Detailed study of Akeman Street signal cabin, circa 1960. 11245 GCR Althorpe Pregrouping view, circa 1912. 35638 GCR Althorpe General view, circa 1970, showing the up and down platforms, station buildings and footbridge. 35639 GCR Althorpe Detailed view, circa 1970, showing the station buildings and part of the girder footbridge. 51932 MSJ&A Altrincham & Bowden General view, circa 1972, looking along Platform 1. 51933 MSJ&A Altrincham & Bowden General view, circa 1972, showing the platforms, station buildings and footbridge. 10732 MSJ&A Altrincham & Bowdon Pregrouping view, circa 1912. 10733 MSJ&A Altrincham & Bowdon General view, circa 1950, showing the station exterior. 10734 MSJ&A Altrincham & Bowdon Pregrouping view, circa 1912. 10735 MSJ&A Altrincham & Bowdon General view, circa 1950s. 10736 MSJ&A Altrincham & Bowdon General view, circa 1930s. 10647 MET&GC Amersham General view, circa 1930s. 35536 MET&GC Amersham View of the station building from the station approach, circa 1960. 35537 MET&GC Amersham General view, circa 1960, showing the up and down platforms and station buildings. 35538 MET&GC Amersham General view, circa 1960s, showing the up and down platforms and station buildings, looking south towards Marylebone. 35539 MET&GC Amersham General view, circa 1960s, showing the up and down platforms and station buildings, looking north. 35540 MET&GC Amersham General view, circa 1960s, showing the up and down platforms and station buildings. 35541 MET&GC Amersham General view, circa 1962, showing the up and down platforms, station buildings and footbridge, with the recently-installed third platform face visible to the left. 35542 MET&GC Amersham General view, circa 1960s, showing the up and down platforms, station buildings and footbridge. 35543 MET&GC Amersham General view, circa 1960s, showing the up and down platforms, station buildings and footbridge, looking south towards Marylebone. 35701 MET&GC Amersham A detailed study of the signal cabin, circa 1962. 35634 GCR Appleby Lincs General view, circa 1960s, showing the signal cabin, level crossing and station buildings. 11279 GCR Arkwright Town Pregrouping view, circa 1912 10707 GCR Ashburys Pregrouping view, circa 1912. 35473 GCR Ashby Magna General view, circa 1966, showing the island platform, station buildings and road overbridge, looking north towards Sheffield.

  • Settlement Capacity Study Update
    Chiltern & South Bucks Local Plan 2036 Settlement Capacity Study Page 0 of 122 Chiltern & South Bucks Local Plan 2036 Settlement Capacity Study Introduction Local authorities are encouraged by Paragraph 65 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to set out a housing requirement for designated neighbourhood areas as part of their strategic policies. This is to enable neighbourhood plans to provide sufficient housing sites to meet their expected allocation. All currently-designated neighbourhood areas in Chiltern and South Bucks Districts share their boundaries with parish boundaries. It is anticipated that any future designations will also be for town council or parish council areas rather than for areas smaller or larger than these. The purpose of this study is to calculate required housing numbers for each parish within Chiltern and South Bucks. The Planning Practice Guidance1 confirms that there is no set methodology available for doing this, stating “the general policy making process already undertaken by local authorities can continue to be used to direct development requirements and balance needs and protections by taking into consideration relevant policies such as the spatial strategy, evidence such as the Housing and economic land availability assessment, and the characteristics of the neighbourhood area, including its population and role in providing services. In setting requirements for housing in designated neighbourhood areas, plan-making authorities should consider the areas or assets of particular importance (as set out in paragraph 11, footnote 6), which may restrict the scale, type or distribution of development in a neighbourhood plan area”. The NPPF requires the housing requirement figure for a neighbourhood area to reflect the Local Plan’s overall strategy for the pattern and scale of development and any relevant allocations.

  • 50 Years Ago – a Postscript
    50 YEARS AGO – A POSTSCRIPT METROPOLITAN MODERNISATION Whilst some of us will recall the late-1950s and early 1960s as the period “when it all happened”, there was a lot going on much earlier. Here is a selection of what happened, details being obtained from the Traffic Circulars of the time. Some items may not be directly relevant but nevertheless are included for interest, if only that London Transport were bringing the Metropolitan Line up to date and ‘in line’ with the rest of the network. Date Brief details 02.01.50 “Stop-and-Proceed” abolished north of Harrow-on-the-Hill and all signals, semi- automatic and automatic, provided with signal post telephones. All trains to receive authority from relevant signalman before passing any signal at danger. Signal boxes affected were Watford Station (JL), Croxley (B), Watford Junction (C), Northwood (E), Pinner (G) and Harrow Station (JB). 01.50 Telephones provided on Chesham line (to signalmen at Chalfont & Latimer and Chesham) at One Mile Post, Two Mile Post and Three Mile Post. 04.06.50 Track slewed on a new alignment 30ft west of present from 1,000ft north of Watford South Junction to 1,500ft south of Watford South Junction, to allow bridges MR78, MR80 and MR81 to be taken out of use. 17.06.50 From midnight, maintenance responsibility for track, works & buildings and signalling between 28½ mile post (Mantles Wood) and 37 miles 195 yards, about ¾ mile south of Aylesbury South Junction, will be transferred from Railway Executive to London Transport. 25.06.50 London Transport to take over responsibility for management of ex-Joint Line from Harrow to Aylesbury South Junction including Watford and Chesham branches.

  • The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line
    THE EVOLUTION OF TRAIN SERVICES ON THE MET AND GC LINE by Eric Stuart (Readers may find reference to the Four-Tracking article in the July 2018 issue of Underground News helpful) After the Great Central (GC) arrived at Quainton Road and the service south thereof became established, both the GC and the Metropolitan Railway (Met.) provided services. However, the personalities at the heads of the two companies did not enjoy the best of relationships. Matters came to a head when a GC train crashed when failing to reduce speed over the (then) reverse curve into Aylesbury station in 1904. About that time, both the leaders retired and a period of better relations between the companies began. On 2 April 1906, the Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway (MGCJR) was created. This latter took over the lines of the Metropolitan Railway north and west of Harrow South Junction, with the exception of the branch to Uxbridge. These included the main line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Verney Junction and the branch from Chalfont & Latimer to Chesham. The MGCJR was created under the terms of the Metropolitan & Great Central Railway Act, which received Royal Assent on 4 August 1905. At the same time, the Great Central and Great Western Joint Railway was formed, covering the lines south of Aylesbury via Princes Risborough to Northolt Junction. This was the result of a new line that aided the GC by partly avoiding congestion on the Met. and also giving the Great Western a shorter route to Birmingham1. One curiosity was that a Joint Committee was set up to manage a new Aylesbury station, jointly owned by two joint railways! Some points on terminology: The new line was commonly called just ‘The Joint Line’ and, even in later LT days, some staff still belonged to a particular class that made them feel superior to others2.

  • Great Central Railway Robinson Class 8K 2-8-0 Locomotives (LNER & BR Class O4), and GWR Class 3000 by Peter Sheppard The
    Great Central Railway Robinson Class 8K 2-8-0 Locomotives (LNER & BR Class O4), and GWR Class 3000 By Peter Sheppard The first class 8K 2-8-0 freight locomotive was built by the Great Central Railway (GCR) at their Gorton works in 1911. It was to a design by J. G. Robinson. Later there was a large order from the Railway Operating Division of the Royal Engineers (R.O.D.). Class 8M (later O5) locomotives built around the same time were later converted to Class O4. Some locomotives were sent to France during the First World War and were returned. On at least two occasions batches of locomotives were loaned to the GWR by the LNER and then were returned. Some locomotives were bought by the GWR , LNWR and LMS. Some locomotives were requisitioned by the government in 1943 and sent to the Middle East, they never came back. Five more were requisitioned in 1952 and sent to Egypt. Others were sold to Australia and China. Added to this various different modifications were made to the locomotives and each modification formed a different sub class. There were 9 such sub- classes and these were numbered Class O4/1 to O4/8. The reader may think that those numbers total 8 and not 9. The explanation is that there were two sub-classes O4/2. The requirement for the first sub-class O4/2 had ended in 1924 so when a need arose for a new sub class in 1925 the vacant number was re-used. Details of the various sub-classes are given later in this article.

  • IL Combo Ndx V2
    file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

  • The Financial Impact of the Great Central Railway's London Extension
    The financial impact of the Great Central Railway’s London extension By Tony Sheward © Tony Sheward 2020 1 THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY’S LONDON EXTENSION 1. Introduction The general opinion of authorities, who have written about the Great Central Railway’s (GCR) London Extension, seems to be that the project was not a financial success and acted as a drag on the company’s performance in the years following its opening. This article attempts to examine the financial results of the GCR in the years immediately leading up to the decision to commit to the project, the construction period, and operations from its opening up to 1913. It seeks to discover whether there were other factors, which influenced its financial performance either positively or negatively. For convenience, the title Great Central Railway is used throughout even though this name was not adopted by the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway until 1897. A glossary of the abbreviations for the various lines is included at the end. The detailed financial figures are presented in four time periods as follows: a. The Immediate Years Prior to Work on the London Extension 1887-93 b. Construction of the London Extension Phase I 1894-99 c. Construction of the London Extension Phase II 1900-06 d. The Years after Completion of the London Extension Work 1907-13 The article takes as its main source the annual reports of GCR1 and the Railway Returns2. The historical background for the article is mainly taken from published sources, in particular the three-part history of the GCR by George Dow3 and the short history of the GCR by Robert Hartley.4 Although up to 1912, the annual reports were prepared in two half yearly tranches, the information in this article is presented by calendar year for ease of understanding and comparison.
