  • Bridges Over the Tyne Session Plan
    Bridges over the Tyne Session Plan There are seven bridges over the Tyne between central Newcastle and Gateshead but there have been a number of bridges in the past that do not exist anymore. However the oldest current bridge, still standing and crossing the Tyne is actually at Corbridge, built in 1674. Pon Aelius is the earliest known bridge. It dates from the Roman times and was built in the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian at the same time as Hadrian’s Wall around AD122. It was located where the Swing Bridge is now and would have been made of wood possibly with stone piers. It last- ed until the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century. Two altars can be seen in the Great North Museum to Neptune and Oceanus. They are thought to have been placed next to the bridge at the point where the river under the protection of Neptune met the tidal waters of the sea under the protection of Oceanus. The next known bridge was the Medieval Bridge. Built in the late 12th century, it was a stone arched bridge with huge piers. The bridge had shops, houses, a chapel and a prison on it. It had towers with gates a drawbridge and portcullis reflecting its military importance. The bridge collapsed during the great flood of 1771, after three days of heavy rain, with a loss of six lives. You can still see the remains of the bridge in the stone archways on both the Newcastle and Gateshead sides of the river where The Swing Bridge is today.

  • Collision. Wrawby Junction. 1983-12-09
    RAILWAY~NSPECTORATE DEPARTMENTOFTRANSPORT 2 MARSHAMSTREET LONDON SWIP 3EB 19th March 1985. I have the honour to report, for the information of the Secretary of State, in accordance with the Direc- tion of 21st December 1983 the result of my Inquiry into the collision between a freight train and apassenger train that occurred at about 18.18 on 9th December 1983 at Wrawby Junction, near Scunthorpe, in the Eastern Region of British Railways. 2. The 17.32 Cleethorpes to Sheffield 2-car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) passenger train was travelling along the Down Fast lineat about 5 mile/h when it was struck about midway along the right-hand side of the leading carriage by Locomotive No. 47299 which was hauling the 15.02 Drax to Lindsey freight train compris- ing 9 empty oil tank wagons. Because a track-circuit failure prevented a set of points from operating and the protecting signals from clearing, the signalman had hand-cranked the points to the Normal position. He failed to clamp them Normal as he should have done. Both trains had been called forward under caution but the freight train driver failed to stop at the signal box. His train was diverted at low speed into the side of the passenger train through the points that had, in the meantime, reset themselves to the Reverse position. 3 The leading vehicle of the DMU was derailed and turned onto its side, the trailing vehicle was derailed but remainedupright. There were 1 I passengerson the DMU and1 regret to report that on'eof them was killed instantly, the Emergency Services were quickly at the scene and 3 others were taken to hospital 2 of whom were discharged after treatment.

  • Railway Accident Investigation Unit Annual Report
    Railway Accident Investigation Unit Ireland Annual Report i 2018 Foreword The purpose of the Railway Accident Investigation Unit (RAIU) is to independently investigate occurrences on Irish railways with a view to establishing their cause/s and make safety recommendations to prevent their reoccurrence or otherwise improve railway safety. It is not the purpose of an investigation to attribute blame or liability. In 2018, fifty-two preliminary examination reports (PERs) were completed by the RAIU based on reports of incidents and accidents from Transdev and Iarnród Éireann (IÉ); including reports of: rolling stock faults; Road Rail Vehicle (RRV) occurrences; self-harm occurrences; earthworks failures; energy faults; tram and heavy rail derailments in depots; cattle strikes; tram road traffic collisions; fire; buffer stop collisions and one user worked level crossing collision accident. Of the fifty-two PERs, three full investigations into individual incidents/accidents that occurred on the IÉ network, namely: • Collision of an InterCity Railcar with a buffer stop at Laois Train Care Depot, 17th July 2018; • Wrongside Door Failure at Ashtown Station, 12th August 2018; • Vehicle struck by train at Cartron level crossing, XM220, Co. Mayo, 17th August 2018. In addition, a trend investigation into RRV incidents and accidents on the IÉ network was commenced, which includes the review of RRV occurrences from 2015 to 2018, inclusive. One investigation report was published in 2018, ‘Derailment of DART passenger service, at Points DL115, Dun Laoghaire, 13th September 2017’ resulting in a total of seven new safety recommendations being issued. The new recommendations related to: the training and competency of staff in terms of performance of duties and safety critical communications; management of major customer disruptions; the design and fitment of points clips; and, the placement of detonator protection.

Newcastle came into its own in the nineteenth century. Fuelled by coal and oiled by the River Tyne, the city attracted trades, goods and people from around the world. In later years however Newcastle’s industries experienced severe decline. The city had to reinvent itself and it has since become a vibrant centre for the arts. This walk explores how Newcastle’s medieval Tyne Bridge Newcastle has constantly adapted © Newcastle City Library since it was founded by the Romans. We will find out about some of the international industries and communities that have shaped Newcastle and visit some of the key sites in the city’s history - including a castle, a friary, a Premier League football stadium, “Britain’s finest street” and the city’s world-famous riverside.

    ROBERT STEPHENSON A GREAT 19 TH CENTURY ENGINEER EARLY YEARS Robert Stephenson was born in a small cottage in Willington Quay, a few miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne, on October 16th 1803. His father was the now famous George Stephenson. At this time George was a brakesman at Ballast Hills Colliery, Willington Quay working on low-pressure stationary engines. In 1804 Richard Trevithick, the Cornish inventor of the high-pressure steam engine visited the area and called on the Stephensons in their small house. In that same year the Stephensons moved to a cottage in Paradise Row, West Moor near Killingworth because George had accepted work as a brakesman at the West Moor colliery which was owned by the Grand Allies (an alliance of powerful coal-owning families formed in 1726). Richard Trevithick continued to visit the Stephensons and in 1805 he demonstrated one of his new locomotives at Whinfi eld’s Pipewellgate works in Gateshead. Unfortunately in the same year Robert’s sister died and in 1806 his mother died. George was so upset he moved to Montrose and took up work there but he left Robert with Ann Snaith, George’s housekeeper. In 1808 Ann Snaith married Robert’s uncle also named Robert. George returned to Killingworth and set up a business to repair low pressure stationary engines and also went back to work as a brakesman.
