  • The Dover Pullman Boat Express

    The Dover Pullman Boat Express

    No. 7 - The Dover Pullman Boat Express First published in the Meccano Magazine July 1927 What the real name of the train is I could not say. For many years past the “Eleven o’clock” service from Victoria has been familiar to travellers all over the Continent but our train this month cannot rightly be called the “Eleven o’clock,” because it starts at 10:45! It is, in fact a first portion of the 11 a.m. train, designed to give its fortunate passengers the choice of places on the boat at Dover. Sometimes it is called the “Golden Arrow,” but that name belongs to the French express that runs in connection on the other side of the Channel, and which was described in the May article. The rudest name that I have heard bestowed upon the 10.45 down is that of the enginemen who, in joint recognition of the beautiful cream and umber livery of the Pullmans and the enormous weight of the train, have nicknamed it the “White Elephant.” It will be agreed that so famous a train as this needs a name of its own, and one day perhaps the Southern Railway authorities will think out some telling designation, to rank with the “Southern Belle” and the “Atlantic Express.” Meanwhile it is difficult to write an article of this character in description of a train without a name! 1 Popularity of the Train So far from being a “White Elephant” in reality, the 10.45 a.m. from Victoria is one of the best-paying trains on the line.

    NETWORK RAIL's KENT ROUTE STUDY CONSULTATION JTB: 13Th

    NETWORK RAIL’S KENT ROUTE STUDY CONSULTATION JTB: 13th June 2017 Author / Service Andrew Osborne – Economic Head Development Manager Portfolio Holder Cllr P. Clokie Purpose of the report To update the Joint Transport Board on Ashford Borough Council’s draft response to Network Rail’s consultation on the South East Route: Kent Area Route Study. Background Network Rail have published their consultation document for the long term planning for the “South East Route: Kent Area Route Study”, which includes proposed track, signalling and station improvements on this network, and sets out the strategic vision for the next 30 years. The purpose of the study is to provide the evidence base to inform funder’s consideration of the medium and long-term options. The consultation was opened in March 2017 and closes on the 30th June 2017. The Department for Transport has also published their “South Eastern Rail Franchise Public Consultation” document in March 2017, originally requesting responses by 23rd May 2017, although this has now been extended to the 30th June 2017 due to the calling of the General Election. The results of this consultation will then inform a tender document that will start the process in the autumn 2017 of procuring a new franchise operator. The new franchise operator will commence operations at the expiry of the current franchise in December 2018. Ashford Borough Council’s draft response to these consultations was reported to Cabinet in May 2017, and the key priorities within the Council’s response is set out below. South East Route: Kent Area Route Study – Draft for Consultation Network Rail have published their consultation document on proposed improvements to the rail network by 2024 and projects to be developed for delivery between 2024 and 2044.
  • West Sussex County Council Response to the Network Rail Draft Sussex Area Route Study Consultation

    West Sussex County Council Response to the Network Rail Draft Sussex Area Route Study Consultation

    Ref No: HT21 (14/15) Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport Key Decision: Yes West Sussex County Council response to the Part I or Part II: Network Rail draft Sussex Area Route Study Part I consultation Report by Director of Highways and Transport and Electoral Director of Strategic Planning and Place Divisions: All Executive Summary Network Rail is undertaking a consultation to gather views on its draft South East Route: Sussex Area Route Study. This study sets out a 30-year vision for this area of the rail network. It primarily focuses on rail industry Control Period 6 (2019-2024) to inform Government investment decisions for this time frame, but also considers growth in demand for rail travel to 2043. Consultation responses are being welcomed on any of the ideas and interventions set out in the study. The study will inform future decisions about rail infrastructure and rail service planning as well as the capacity of major stations, rather than specific timetable, service quality and station access issues which are concerns for the rail franchisee. Key issues highlighted in the County Council response include: support for investment to expand capacity for the Brighton Main Line; a request for further investment in rail infrastructure away from routes to London to support a balanced economy; support for analysis undertaken within the Study into the Arundel Chord scheme and provision of an improved journey times along the West Coastway route; and requests for greater attention to be made to level crossing and car parking issues within the study. Recommendation The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport approves West Sussex County Council’s consultation response, contained in Appendix A of the report, for submission to the Network Rail draft South East Route: Sussex Area Route Study.

    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CHALK UPLANDS OF NORTHWEST EUROPE The Chilterns, Pegsdon, Bedfordshire (photograph L. Blundell) Lesley Blundell UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD September 2019 2 I, Lesley Blundell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 3 4 Abstract Our understanding of early human behaviour has always been and continues to be predicated on an archaeological record unevenly distributed in space and time. More than 80% of British Lower-Middle Palaeolithic findspots were discovered during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, the majority from lowland fluvial contexts. Within the British planning process and some academic research, the resultant findspot distributions are taken at face value, with insufficient consideration of possible bias resulting from variables operating on their creation. This leads to areas of landscape outside the river valleys being considered to have only limited archaeological potential. This thesis was conceived as an attempt to analyse the findspot data of the Lower-Middle Palaeolithic record of the Chalk uplands of southeast Britain and northern France within a framework complex enough to allow bias in the formation of findspot distribution patterns and artefact preservation/discovery opportunities to be identified and scrutinised more closely. Taking a dynamic, landscape = record approach, this research explores the potential influence of geomorphology, 19th/early 20th century industrialisation and antiquarian collecting on the creation of the Lower- Middle Palaeolithic record through the opportunities created for artefact preservation and release.

    The Cinque Ports Are a Unique Association of Maritime Towns in Kent and Sussex Dating Back 1000 Years. It Was Probably During Th

    The Cinque Ports are a unique association of maritime towns in Kent and Sussex dating back 1000 years. It was probably during the 11th Century when Saxon kings first formalised the arrangement under which key coastal towns in Kent and Sussex were offered inducements for them to provide ships and men to meet the military and transportation needs of their royal masters. The earliest known charter to the Cinque Ports collectively was granted by King Henry III in 1260 but it is clear from other charters and the Domesday Book the ports had enjoyed common privileges in return for their service to the Crown since the 11th century and were already known collectively as the Cinque Ports. There was a more formal confederation with common institutions in place by 1150 when the Court of Shepway had been established. Having their own court was one on the privileges granted along with freedom from taxation and it was presided over by the King’s representative known as the Lord Warden. Their heyday was in the 12th and 13th centuries but waned over the next 300 years, as changing patterns of warfare at sea and natural changes to the coastline of south-east England left ship service a heavy burden for relatively small fishing communities. So the five head ports of Hastings, Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich turned to their neighbouring towns and villages which became known as limbs, for help in providing ships and men and in return shared in the privileges. Rye and Winchelsea began as limbs of Hastings and in the 14 th century were formally recognised as ‘antient towns’ and henceforth enjoyed equal status to the five original head ports.
