  • Southern Railway Stations in South London
    Southern Railway stations in South London The south London area stations of Southern Region of British Railways and its constituents tend to be somewhat neglected, perhaps due to the prevalent suburban electric services, but comprised some fine examples of former company architecture. The following pictures were all taken in August 1973; a few of the sites have since disappeared, many others surely much modernised by now, and some have even been nicely restored...... First, we look at the former South Eastern Railway branch line from Purley to Caterham. Here is Kenley, whose cottage-style station house with very steep-pitched roof and gothic detailing is now a listed building, but privately owned. It dates from the construction of the Caterham Railway in 1856 and is by architect Richard Whittall. Below is Whyteleafe, (left) down side waiting room and footbridge, and the signal box and level crossing at Whyteleafe South...... The signalbox nameboard shows that the station had been re-signed with modern British Rail white enamel plates; in late 1972 I found one of the much more attractive 1950-era station nameplates for sale in an antique shop near Paddington station, for the pricely sum of £2.50p. In contrast the teminus station building at Caterham still displayed its “Southern Electric” enamelware...... Here are two more views at Caterham, with the SE&CR wooden signalbox at right...... Moving on to Anerley, this is an ex London Brighton & South Coast Railway station on its line from London Bridge to West Croydon, just to the north of Norwood Junction. At least part of the main building is thought to date from the line opening in 1839.

  • 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.

  • A Rail Manifesto for London
    A Rail Manifesto for London The new covered walkway linking Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations creates an interchange which provides a better connection and more journey opportunities March 2016 A Rail Manifesto for London Railfuture1 seeks to inform and influence the development of transport policies and practices nationally and locally. We offer candidates for the 2016 London Mayoral and Assembly elections this manifesto2, which represents a distillation of the electorate’s aspirations for a developing railway for London, for delivery during the next four years or to be prepared for delivery during the following period of office. Executive Summary Recognising the importance of all rail-based transport to the economy of London and to its residents, commuters and visitors alike, Railfuture wishes to see holistic and coherent rail services across all of London, integrated with all other public transport, with common fares and conditions. Achieving this is covered by the following 10 policy themes: 1. Services in London the Mayor should take over. The 2007 transfer of some National Rail services to TfL has been a huge success, transforming some of the worst services in London into some of the best performing. Railfuture believes it is right that the Mayor should take over responsibility for more rail services in London, either by transferring service operation to TfL or by TfL specifying service levels to the operator, and that this must benefit all of London. 2. Improved Services. Frequencies play an important role in the success of metro and suburban train services. We believe that the Mayor should set out the minimum standards of service levels across London seven days per week for all rail services.

    West London Economic Prosperity Board 17th February 2021 Title West London Orbital (Standing Item) Report of Niall Bolger, LB Hounslow Status Public Urgent No Enclosures N/A Andrew Barry-Purssell, West London Planning Policy and Officer Contact Details Infrastructure Delivery Manager, West London Alliance, E: [email protected]; T: 07525 388237 Summary This report provides the Board with an update on work with Transport for London and Network Rail to develop the business case for the West London Orbital. It seeks approval for proposed arrangements for providing funding for the project from the resources secured from the Strategic Investment Pot and for governance arrangements reflecting the fact that the project is being jointly funded and delivered. Recommendations Leaders are asked to: i) NOTE progress in development of the business case for the WLO; ii) AGREE the proposed arrangements for funding the project from Strategic Investment Pot resources held by the West London Alliance; and iii) AGREE the arrangements for governance of the project, including establishment of a Partners Oversight Group 1. WHY THIS REPORT IS NEEDED 1.1 The WLEPB has consistently identified the West London Orbital (WLO) Overground rail line as a shared strategic priority for West London, integral to the sub-region’s sustainable development. The Board has agreed that progress and next steps relating to the WLO should be a standing item on its agenda. The West London Alliance (WLA) and West London boroughs have worked closely with Transport for London (TfL) and the Greater London Authority and Network Rail to develop and refine the business case for the project.

  • London Transport Railways
    London Transport Railways The following selection of images is of the stock displayed in the “Underground Centenary” exhibition held at Neasden Depot, which we visited on Saturday 25th May 1963...... Sadly and inexplicably the Metropolitan Railway F class 0-6-2T locomotive L52 featured here was scrapped soon afterwards, but most of the other items, or examples of them were preserved at the later London Transport Museum, on the Bluebell and Worth Valley Railways, and elsewhere. In 1963 and for about 10 years afterwards, there was still plenty of vintage interest to be seen out and about on the London Transport lines. The picture (right) shows a train of Metropolitan F stock at New Cross Gate, East London Line, on 17th August 1963...... and here is an old G stock motor car trailing a District line train out of Richmond station on a very wet and misty morning of 4th April 1964...... On that day we travelled extensively around the extremities of the system on a “Combined Rover” day ticket. At the former Great Eastern Railway station of Woodford, Essex we were surprised to find an “automatic” or “driverless” train trial in progress using one of the experimental units, on the Hainault Loop line. These were the first tests of the system later used on the new Victoria Line. Note the aerial on the front of the cab, and temporary wiring...... The weather did not improve as we ventured on to Epping, then to Ongar....... The latter still retaining its air of a country branch terminus despite the use of modern stock (right) A contrast between station architectures is seen at Cockfosters (below left), an iconic LT 1930s design, and High Barnet (right) almost unaltered from its origins as a Great Northern Railway branch terminus...

I suggest (given the need for enforced brevity in the table) new wording: “Infrastructure improvements on West London Orbital route, including for a London Overground Extension” Specific improvements on the WLO route are still being studied by the ‘West London Alliance’ of boroughs and by TfL - for instance, whether to fully electrify the route, remove existing level crossings, or replace and widen bridges. Nevertheless, there are certain to be significant infrastructure improvements, particularly on the northern section, the Dudding Hill freight line between LB Ealing at Old Oak Common, via LB Brent just south of Wembley, to LB Barnet at Brent Cross Cricklewood. One result of physical improvements is the chance to add completely new London Overground services. However, there are other benefits of this investment - the railway can more efficiently handle freight traffic (supporting policies SI8, SI10, and T7) and can provide a new passenger route for longer-distance, non-London Overground, south-east regional trains (supporting policy T1), stopping at London’s opportunity areas. The replacement wording above is more positively prepared and justified than the original, and more effectively based on joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities.
