  • Britain's Great Little Railways Newsletter 60 July 2015 Jack, The
    Britain’s Great Little Railways Newsletter 60 July 2015 Jack, the Exbury Gardens Railway Dog Railway staff and regular visitors were saddened recently to learn of the death of "Jack The Railway Dog". The railway yard was like a home from home for Jack who quickly endeared himself to everyone as he oversaw the engine preparation each morning from the comfort of his bed outside the engine shed. This was often followed by a brisk walk to carry out the daily track inspection with a member of the railway team. Following a quick snack in the mess room. it was then time to stroll up the platform to supervise the loading of the passengers before jumping into the guards van for a circuit or two of "Guard Dog" duties. This was regularly followed by a photo shoot as passengers waited in line to take a snap of our little colleague as he rested on the soft cushion of the guards seat. The highlight of Jack's day was lunchtime when he eagerly awaited the unwrapping of my sausage sandwiches, said railway foreman Ian Wilson who, to every ones amusement, often spoke to Jack in an American accent as he was born in Texas. Our little friend will be sadly missed. BGLR NEWS The date for the Autumn General Meeting is Wednesday October 7th at the Beer Heights Light Railway situated in Pecorama, Mare Lane, Beer, Seaton, Devon EX12 3NA.

  • Swanning Around
    Swanning Around A Look At What’s Happening Around The Swanage Railway Issue 44 – November 20th 2018 It’s November, and the railway is on the Orange Timetable, so there’s not much happening? Think again! Not only are there all manner of maintenance and refurbishment activities taking place, we’re still running trains during the week for driver experience. Yes, many people are taking advantage of the offerings for driving and firing, as found in the Swanage railway website at https://swanagerailway.co.uk/events/detail/taster-experience on our Standard tank loco 80104. More driver experiences for shareholders of Southern Locomotives Limited (SLL) have been taking place using the Bulleid Pacific 34072 257 Squadron, recently returned to traffic. If that were not enough, there have been many departmental moves to form up coach sets for the experiences, for the Somerset and Dorset (S&D) weekend, and for Santa trains, not to mention some photo charters with 80104 and 30120, and you have a very busy time on the railway. Some, if not all, of that is in this issue, and, on the occasional Page 3, we have a mucky man! Read on! 1 In the week preceding the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, our engines carried a wreath in remembrance. On November 9th, 80104 is running round its train at Swanage whilst working Driver Experience trains. Why is driver Bryan Hardwick admiring the tarmac on the platform? Answers on a fiver to the usual address! Just in case you had forgotten, Christmas isn’t far away, and Santa has already taken his place on the stanchions at the station.

  • Rails by the Sea.Pdf
    1 RAILS BY THE SEA 2 RAILS BY THE SEA In what ways was the development of the seaside miniature railway influenced by the seaside spectacle and individual endeavour from 1900 until the present day? Dr. Marcus George Rooks, BDS (U. Wales). Primary FDSRCS(Eng) MA By Research and Independent Study. University of York Department of History September 2012 3 Abstract Little academic research has been undertaken concerning Seaside Miniature Railways as they fall outside more traditional subjects such as standard gauge and narrow gauge railway history and development. This dissertation is the first academic study on the subject and draws together aspects of miniature railways, fairground and leisure culture. It examines their history from their inception within the newly developing fairground culture of the United States towards the end of the 19th. century and their subsequent establishment and development within the UK. The development of the seaside and fairground spectacular were the catalysts for the establishment of the SMR in the UK. Their development was largely due to two individuals, W. Bassett-Lowke and Henry Greenly who realized their potential and the need to ally them with a suitable site such as the seaside resort. Without their input there is no doubt that SMRs would not have developed as they did. When they withdrew from the culture subsequent development was firmly in the hands of a number of individual entrepreneurs. Although embedded in the fairground culture they were not totally reliant on it which allowed them to flourish within the seaside resort even though the traditional fairground was in decline.

  • Swanning Around Incorporating GM’S Jottings
    Swanning Around Incorporating GM’s Jottings A Look At What’s Happening Around The Swanage Railway Issue 41 – August 27th 2018 Holiday time, and the heatwave continues. Or it did until this week, and that’s good news on the fire risk front. And holidays means Swanning Around even later in the month than usual. Next month’s issue may be deliberately early with reduced content to get us back to the middle of the month—a short tack as sailors might say! On the other hand, it may depend on available time, as usual! As we said last time, the Swanage Railway has managed the fire risk situation well enough (with occasional help from the Fire Service!) to avoid substitution of steam by diesels. However, as this is written, we could do with some more heat—it’s “””ing cold and very wet today (26th August)! British summer? The summer holiday high season is critical to the fortunes of this railway, providing a very large slice of the annual fare income, and this time last year, we were short of steam power and had to use diesel, and this cost us in terms of bums on seats. Fortunately, we have not had to substitute diesels because of the fire risk, so we are hopeful that passenger numbers are as expected. There’s no GM’s Jottings this time, so perhaps he will tell us next month how well we’ve done (or not!). The South Western Railway services into Corfe appeared to have brought additional visitors until the RMT strike meant that these services aren’t running, except for 25th August, which is now scheduled to be the last one.

  • Open Letter to WSR PLC, WSRA and WSSRT
    We, the undersigned, call on the three principal boards of the West Somerset Railway (WSR), namely; the West Somerset Railway PLC (PLC), the West Somerset Railway Association (WSRA) and the West Somerset Steam Railway Trust (WSSRT) to come together urgently in the best interests of the communities that love and rely on the WSR. Many livelihoods and businesses are dependent on the WSR being run as a successful and responsible community asset. Recent negative actions have severely damaged the reputation of the railway at a time when public support and confidence is most needed to survive the significant challenges that COVID-19 presents the WSR. Communications from the PLC are often inappropriately confrontational and poorly written which make readers question the professionalism of the organisation and veracity of the message. At the heart of the WSR is a committed, skilled and passionate core of over 1000 volunteers who give their time to keep the railway running and contribute to the economy of West Somerset. These volunteers are proud to work for the railway, but many have been upset by the aggressive stance adopted which has most recently brought the railway into public conflict with a local MP and the Somerset and Dorset Railway Trust (S&DRT). In February, the S&DRT was given 12 months' notice by the PLC to leave Washford, which they have totally transformed from a derelict site over the past 45 years. This notice was issued just two years after signing a 50 year lease extension in good faith. The unedifying public accusations has angered many and has highlighted the lack of trust and cooperation between members of the railway family.

  • Attractions in Staffordshire
    Attractions in Staffordshire The border between Stafordshire and Derbyshire is the River Dove so only a few hundred yards awa. It runs north to south. Below is a modified copy of the index to the folder normally found in the cottages full of 40 leaflets of attractions in Staffordshire . I have deleted some of the listings in the index as I consider it is unlikely they will be opening by the time of your stay, but others that are for time being closed, I have kept in as I am guessing there is a chance they might open up. Some of the attractions have been open throughout the lockdown (eg Manifold Valley, others are opening up in July and I have indicated those whose administrators have given no indication of when they are opening up. I have also added the web site details in view of their being no leaflets as such in the cottage. I have also removed listings of some leaflets that are generic. 1) Manifold Valley Visitor Centre 3 minutes drive time away; well recommended www.derbyshire-peakdistrict.co.uk/manifoldvalleyvisitorcentre.htm 2) Manifold Valley 2k away www.cressbrook.co.uk/features/manifold.php 3) Peak Wildlife park (18 minutes) open www.peakwildlifepark.co.uk 4) Kingsley Bird and Falconry Centre –only open for booked experiences, that’s always the case, but not open at moment. http://kingsleyfalconry.co.uk/ 5) Leek Architectural Trail (Leek is not fancy but architecturally decidedly interesting!) 6) Nicholson Museum and Art Gallery (in Leek) 7) Brindley Mill (far side of Leek) – closed www.brindleysmill.co.uk/ 8) Churnet Valley

  • Level Crossing Accident at Penrhyn, Ffestiniog Railway, 6 January 2019 Important Safety Messages
    Level crossing accident at Penrhyn, Ffestiniog Railway, 6 January 2019 Important safety messages • This accident serves as a reminder of why it is important to follow railway rules and operating instructions. Many rules have developed from the experience of past accidents and incidents. The reason why a rule exists is not always obvious, and may have been forgotten as time passes, but the importance of complying with it does not diminish. • The consequences of a train running onto a level crossing into the path of a road vehicle can be fatal; ensuring trains stop at a ‘Stop’ board placed at a safe distance from a level crossing open to road traffic is a sensible and realistic precaution against inadvertent overruns. • It is also important that organisations have measures in place to assure themselves that rules and instructions are being followed, rather than allowing unsafe ‘custom and practice’ to develop. Summary of the accident On Sunday 6 January 2019 at around 16:30 hrs, an engineering train returning from Tan y Bwlch to Minffordd did not stop as it approached the level crossing at Penrhyn. The gates were closed across the railway, and the train struck the upper gate and pushed through it, coming to a stand part way across the crossing, fouling both carriageways of the road, the A4085. There were no injuries, and minor damage was caused to the crossing gates on the Tan y Bwlch side of the crossing. On applying the locomotive brakes with the intention of stopping short of the gate, the driver realised that the locomotive wheels had locked and that the train was continuing to move down the 1 in 80 gradient.
