  • Kings Cross to Liverpool Street Via 13 Stations Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Kings Cross to Liverpool Street via 13 stations walk All London’s railway terminals, the three royal parks, the River Thames and the City Length 21.3km (13.3 miles) for the whole walk, but it is easily split into smaller sections: see Walk Options below Toughness 1 out of 10 - entirely flat, but entirely on hard surfaces: definitely a walk to wear cushioned trainers and not boots. Features This walk links (and in many cases passes through) all thirteen London railway terminals, and tells you something of their history along the way. But its attractions are not just limited to railway architecture. It also passes through the three main Central London parks - Regent’s Park, Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens and St James's Parks - and along the Thames into and through the City of London*. It takes in a surprising number of famous sights and a number of characteristic residential and business areas: in fact, if you are first time visitor to London, it is as good an introduction as any to what the city has to offer. Despite being a city centre walk, it spends very little of its time on busy roads, and has many idyllic spots in which to sit or take refreshment. In the summer months you can even have an open air swim midway through the walk in Hyde Park's Serpentine Lido. (* The oldest part of London, now the financial district. Whenever the City, with a capital letter, is used in this document, it has this meaning.) Walk Being in Central London, you can of course start or finish the walk wherever Options you like, especially at the main railway stations that are its principal feature.

    Paul Appleton HM Deputy Chief Inspector of Railways Kamini Edgley Director of Engineering and Asset Management (NW&C Region) Network Rail Infrastructure Limited The Quadrant:MK Elder Gate Milton Keynes MK9 1EN 13 August 2020 Dear Ms Edgley, RAILWAY SAFETY REGULATIONS 1999 - EXEMPTION FROM REGULATION 3 Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (Company Registration Number: 02904587) (Network Rail) The Chiltern Railway Company Limited (Company Registration Number: 03007939) (Chiltern Railways) Running of The Chiltern Railway Company Limited (“Chiltern Railways”) trains (Class 165/0, Class 168/0/1/2 and Class 172/1) on the railway infrastructure known as ‘the Chiltern Route’ between Marylebone Station and Aynho Junction I refer to the application received on 12 June 2020 to request an exemption from regulation 3 of the Railway Safety Regulations 1999. We have reviewed the evidence submitted in support of your application and are satisfied that there is sufficient information contained within the documentation provided to justify an exemption. We noted the approach taken by the parties in assessing the risk for the two periods that the exemption is required for. During the first period, the ATP system remains in use and the exemption would only relate to rolling stock on which the ATP had irreparably failed. The risk assessment considered the two reasonably practicable alternative approaches in the event of ATP failure; either continuing to operate the “failed” trains or withdrawing them from service. The former was determined to be the lowest risk approach because the “failed” trains could still be operated with the existing “conventional” TPWS, providing protection equal to the other “non-ATP” Chiltern Railways rolling stock.

  • One Day Travel Card
    One Day Travel Card One Day Travel Card Title : One Day Travel Card S I G N A L : N O I S E The signal to noise ratio of daily life reworks its parameters in the marketplace of signs. Old data gives way to new data, radios switch stations; search engines change tracks, the network swells, ebbs and swells again to the pull of distant traffic. The city listens, notices, speaks. At times such as these the media emergency and rescue services, spin doctors and node nurses go into overdrive. They send word across the networks that the images must be doctored, that redress must be done, and ensure that the things that need to be said are said, convincingly. The city is the emergency, the city is the rescue operation, and realities are wheeled into the casualty ward. This is the daily life of the media in a city. (Raqs Media Collective1 Pg 105) 9:40 am, Gerrards Cross Station to London Marylebone, Travel Card, Chitern Railways, platform 1. Walk into the waiting room; Good Morning! quite a few people inside. Jay is busy cleaning his small area inside the café; two old ladies, speaking in hushed tones, all made-up, with pearl necklaces and matching gloves; hear them talking about the theatre, lunch and their excited giggles; Coffee? ‘Yes Please’; Have a quick look at the newspaper headlines – ‘disaster, earthquake in Haiti’, ‘Big Brother actress beds Jones to avoid eviction’, Coffee, Black? Yes Please, Thank you, ‘Obama attacks obscene bonuses’, the hum of the cooler is loud and steady; Jay looks relaxed behind his counter, but his body is taut, a puppet pulled by strings tied round the door handle; Sugar? Yes Please, Thank you! A professor-type sitting in the corner intently studying some sheets with musical notes; Good Morning Sir, Tea? Yes Please! Suddenly a silent wave of communication from the tense waiting bodies from the platform triggers off a ripple of activity.
