  • Walks Programme: July to September 2021
    LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below.

  • 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Submitted as his PhD Thesis DATE: 15th February 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.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...

  • SUGGESTED LAYOUT and SERVICES for OLD OAK
    98 Manor Way, Beckenham, Kent BR3 3LR 07843 234002 www.westlondonlinegroup.org.uk March 2014 SUGGESTED LAYOUT and SERVICES FOR OLD OAK COMMON FOR WEST LONDON LINE, NORTH LONDON LINE, GREAT WESTERN MAIN LINE, CROSSRAIL and HS2 plus WEST COAST MAIN LINE and MIDLAND MAIN LINE There is a lack of detailed and complete information in Network Rail’s London & South East Route Utilisation Strategy regarding demand on the West London Line and others in the area that would arise from an interchange with the Great Western Main Line (GWML), Crossrail and High Speed 2 (HS2) at Old Oak Common that would also be integrated with the regeneration proposals in this area. We have therefore set out below our suggested revisions to TfL’s proposed Option A for the layout for the Old Oak Common interchange. Our suggestions should accommodate anticipated increased rail demand arising generally, from growth on the WLL, WLL and other lines’ connections with Crossrail/GWML and HS2, and the need to produce a Premier Interchange that is ‘future-proofed’ until at least 2080. We believe these suggestions are workable and provide better rail capacities and integration, with lesser impacts on residents and ecological areas, and with no sprawl. Our suggested curves are no tighter than elsewhere in Option A; ideally these should be eased to minimise ‘wheel squeal’ and running times. The feasibility of our suggestions in terms of gradients and height clearances for running tracks would need to be checked. The HS2 and Crossrail/GWML platforms are unchanged, although we would urge that the HS2 platforms are elevated to reduce vertical interchange distances between them and other lines (and presumably the spoil to be removed for the HS2 station box): this elevation should also ease our suggested connections between the HS2 tracks and those of Crossrail and the WLL.
