This was the society's second attempt at producing a journal for members. The first, way back in 1951, reportedly lasted only two issues, and its title, if it had one, has been long forgotten. Ashpan No. 1 had only nine pages including the front cover, although it was in A4 format rather than the A5 size we are used to today. The cover itself was a full page illustration by Peter Pardington's late father, and this image was used for the front cover of the first nine issues of Ashpan.

    Date: 8th January 2018 Commercial Development Transport for London 3rd Floor Wing Over Station 55 Broadway By email London SW1H 0BD Phone: 020 7126 4468 Email: [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam, RE: Merton Local Plan 2020, 1st stage consultation Thank you for consulting Transport for London (TfL) on the London Borough of Merton’s draft Local Plan 2020. The following comments represent the views of officers in TfL Commercial Development Planning Team (TfL CD) in its capacity as a significant landowner and are separate from any representations that may be made by TfL in its statutory role as the strategic transport authority for London. TfL CD has been set an ambitious target by the Mayor to commence the development of 10,000 new homes in London by 2021; at least 50% of these new homes must be genuinely affordable. TfL CD has identified a number of sites in the borough for residential led, mixed-use development which will make a significant contribution towards meeting borough and TfL housing targets, as well as improved public transport infrastructure. Our representations in respect of the Call for Sites and the various topics set out in your consultation are set out below. Call for Sites 1. Morden Town Centre Morden has been identified as one of the major growth and housing opportunity areas in south west London by the Mayor of London, TfL and the London Borough of Merton (LBM). There are currently a series of adopted documents which together establish the regeneration context of Morden town centre and specific sites within it.
  • Freight on the Underground

    Freight on the Underground

    FREIGHT ON THE UNDERGROUND by Eric Stuart (I have tried to simplify this article by mentioning the constituent railway company at the time of an event, but later activities usually involved the subsequent appropriate member of the ‘Big Four’ and later region of British Railways.) For those readers whose memory of the Underground system – ‘the Combine’ – does not go back more than 40 years or so, thoughts of freight trains on London Underground may seem as strange as the ‘Routemaster’ on the Moon’ I mentioned in the title of a previous article. Engineers’ trains, yes, but real, old-fashioned ‘goods trains’, with their clanking buffers, seem far removed from the modern Underground. True, freight on the ‘tube’ lines was not an issue originally, although it became so later, as you will see, but it was certainly part of the operation on much of the sub-surface network. In earlier days, fruit, vegetables and other perishable commodities, horses, their carriages, cattle and other livestock could be conveyed. Some, if small enough, were carried in the brake vans of passenger trains. Milk traffic was common, either in churns or, later, tank wagons. Quite late in this history, oil traffic was dealt with in rail tankers at Chalfont & Latimer. Coal was especially important. Parcels and newspapers were also conveyed by many lines at different times1. AREAS OF OPERATION Briefly, freight and other non-passenger service of varying kinds was provided at some time or other on the following sections of line: Metropolitan/Circle/Hammersmith & City (H&C)/East London (ELL): • Throughout the Met north of West Hampstead.
