    NEWS IN FOCUS to enrol all participants by 2018. Certain factors make researchers optimis- tic that the British study will succeed where the US one failed. One is the National Health Service, which provides care for almost all pregnant women and their children in the United Kingdom, and so offers a centralized means of recruiting, tracing and collecting medical information on study participants. In the United States, by contrast, medical care is provided by a patchwork of differ- ent providers. “I think that most researchers in the US recognize that our way of doing population-based research here is simply different from the way things can be done in the UK and in Europe, and it will almost always be more expensive here,” says Mark Klebanoff, a paediatric epidemiologist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Colum- bus, Ohio, who was involved in early dis- cussions about the US study. The Francis Crick Institute sits at the nexus of three central London railway hubs. At one stage, US researchers had planned to knock on doors of random houses looking URBAN SCIENCE for women to enrol before they were even pregnant. “It became obvious that that wasn’t going to be a winning formula,” says Philip Pizzo, a paediatrician at Stanford University Biology powerhouse in Palo Alto, California, who co-chaired the working group that concluded that the National Children’s Study was not feasible. raises railway alarm “The very notion that someone was going to show up on your doorstep as a representa- tive from a govern­ment-funded study and Central London’s Francis Crick Institute fears that proposed say ‘Are you thinking of getting pregnant?’ train line will disrupt delicate science experiments.

    Findings 1 Some Key Facts

    Transforming central London’s railway viaduct Volume 1: main findings 1 Some Key Facts: - The length of railway viaducts in the London South Central area is approximately 10km, making it the biggest building in London - The combined length of the 90 tunnels that can be travelled through is 4km - There are approx 1000 business units available to let in the adjoining arches - In London South Central, there are nearly 260,000 square metres of potential redevelopment space under the viaduct, with potential to create or retain over 10,000 jobs. - London Bridge is the oldest station, opening in 1836, and running to Greenwich. - The remaining viaducts were all built in the following 50 years, between 1836-1886. - The seven wards that the railway viaduct straddles are within the 20% most deprived in the country. - There is only one route north-south which avoids passing through the viaduct – via Mepham Street, immediately in front of Waterloo Station. - There are 97 million separate pedestrian journeys made through the tunnels every year FFoorrwwaarrdd ttoo VVoolluummee OOnnee This report offers a practical and affordable programme that will see the railway tunnels from Vauxhall to London Bridge transformed over the next few years, offering a clear way forward for all the partners involved. Light at the End of the Tunnel presents a strategic opportunity to transform a physical barrier through creative, positive partnership action. The barrier will become a community asset, a place of work, and the site of varied and stimulating public spaces. Over the past eight years, Cross River Partnership has focussed its attention on making the river a less formidable barrier.

    The Central London Electric Train. 3

    THE CENTRAL LONDON ELECTRIC TRAIN 3 – CARRIAGES AND TRAINS by Piers Connor CHOICE OF DESIGN By the time that the Central London Railway (CLR) opened to the public on 30 July 1900, two other electric tube railways were running in London – the City & South London Railway (C&SLR) and the Waterloo & City Railway (W&C), so the Central London had some experience to look to in the development of its systems. In fact, since the CLR had adopted the same traction voltage as the W&C at 550 volts DC, they are recorded, in one of the company’s board meeting minutes, as having persuaded the W&C to allow them to test one of the locomotives on their railway. Quite how they did this is open to speculation, since the only way of getting a locomotive down into the W&C was by means of the vehicle lift at the line’s Waterloo terminus and this lift was limited to 30 tons capacity. Of course, the locomotive could have been partially dismantled and lowered in bits but most likely they took down the bogies first and then the body shell. No records of the results of the tests appear to have survived. Figure 1: A Central London Railway trailer car seen in Wood Lane depot shortly after delivery from the manufacturer. The open entrance platforms are clearly visible. A feature of all the cars when delivered is that externally visible vehicle numbers were not provided. Note also that the central window pillars are wider than those towards each end of the car.

  • 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.
