  • How Understanding a Railway's Historic Evolution Can Guide Future
    College of Engineering, School of Civil Engineering University of Birmingham Managing Technical and Operational Change: How understanding a railway’s historic evolution can guide future development: A London Underground case study. by Piers Connor Submitted as his PhD Thesis DATE: 15th February 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Managing Technical & Operational Development PhD Thesis Abstract The argument for this thesis is that patterns of past engineering and operational development can be used to support the creation of a good, robust strategy for future development and that, in order to achieve this, a corporate understanding of the history of the engineering, operational and organisational changes in the business is essential for any evolving railway undertaking. It has been the objective of the author of this study to determine whether it is essential that the history and development of a railway undertaking be known and understood by its management and staff in order for the railway to function in an efficient manner and for it to be able to develop robust and appropriate improvement strategies in a cost-effective manner.

  • 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...

  • The Jubilee Line Upgrade
    THE JUBILEE LINE UPGRADE by Mike Palmer Upgrade Operations, Jubilee Line, London Underground A report of the LURS meeting at All Souls Club House on 13 October 2009 Mike prefaced the talk by explaining how the Northern Line upgrade and Jubilee Line were similar and those who attended the Northern Line Upgrade talk several months ago would hear some similarities. Mike also explained how some of the talk would be relatively complex and different to any automatic signalling system on LU at the moment: to understand the complexity of the upgrade he would have to teach us some of the concepts behind the new system. It was also made clear to the audience that as the upgrade at time of the talk was overdue, some areas of questioning, such as details of slippage, cost, contractual relationships, would not and could not, for legal reasons, be answered. Mike started off his career in 1982 as a railman, becoming a guard on the District Line at Acton with other well-known figures such as Colin Smith, Dave Rowe and Kim Rennie. He moved to become an Information Assistant between 1985 and 1986 where a familiar Brian Hardy gave him the job. He then moved to become a Line Controller on the Piccadilly, District, Jubilee Metropolitan and Bakerloo from 1986-1989, a Duty Train Manager on the Piccadilly and District between 1989-1993, and then the Duty Operations Manager for the District Line from 1993 to 1995. Following this, he then became a Service Control Manager for the Jubilee and East London lines.
