In some ways the restrictions and personal danger are actually far worse than those encountered in wartime where at least some areas were not affected, people could still travel and the dangers were not directly on your doorstep. Whatever your personal attitude is to the pandemic and the way it has been handled / reported it has no doubt affected everyone whether through work, shopping, travel or leisure as almost everything has ground to a halt or been shut. Hopefully no-one has been affected health wise though with the age profile of our membership containing many in the vulnerable group I suspect there are many of you in the 12 week lockdown. Of our 1354 members 848 (64%) are 60+ of which 499 (38%) are over 70. Because of the ever changing speed of events I have constantly updated this piece and it will no doubt be out of date by the time it is read in print. At least if you have taken the pdf you get the news as soon after it has been penned. Hopefully this 80 pager, which still resembles what was normal until recently, will keep your spirits up and be safe. As far as our hobby goes you may still be able to practise it in glorious self isolation but only within the bounds of the current exercise or work advice if you can exercise, shop for food or work near railway facilities. Clearly the guidelines of separation should be adhered to but hopefully some of you will still be able to record the railway scene. For two thirds of the month I was receiving photos as normal but as of the 23rd when the ‘stay at home’ instruction came into force less have been forthcoming and then only from a handful of members who live near railways or work on them. Clearly there is however less activity on the railway with an emergency timetable introduced from the 23rd March 2020 and this crisis is going to have a long lasting impact, see FRANCHISE / NETWORK NEWS. Railway charters have all been cancelled / postponed and away from the mainline, preservation sites, galas or model shows have either been shut or have been postponed / cancelled. It will be interesting to see what happens after we get through this as the back end of 2020 could be very busy assuming all organisations survive. Sadly the loss of income will seriously affect preservation sites and several are pleading for financial support which I know many of you will no doubt give. The best thing we can all do is strongly support the events once we get back to ‘normality’. For our Society what was to have been our best year yet for visits has been devastated with all those up to the end of June cancelled with just Wishaw and Long Marston in abeyance, though at the moment unable to contact LM for any confirmation. Hopefully those booked, myself included, on the first Hope and Merehead / Whatley visit can be fitted in later in the year as all other visits are fully booked. I bet a few who didn’t take the chance to go to Carnforth in Jan are wishing they had now. Thankfully we have more visits in the mid to late summer than before which should be ok if the current restrictions do the job. DRS are still hoping to hold their Open Day in July but if not they are hopeful it can be re-arranged in the Autumn. With the media understandably concentrating almost exclusively on the coronavirus pandemic it must be annoying to those who were the victims of the floods that they have all but been forgotten yet they must be really struggling to deal with both crisis. The fact that flooding caused infrastructure damage and affected preserved railways was brought home whilst heading home from the AGM via the Waverley Heritage Railway (WRH) at Whitrope to see the Cl.142s which had recently arrived. The narrow B6399 south of the site had been scoured away in several places by the adjacent Whitrope Burn both of which descend through a hilly area. Fortunately being a Sunday work was suspended so was able to negotiate what was a closed road under repair. Newcastleton a small remote borders village few miles downstream of this and other water courses was badly flooded. The only good news out of this crisis is that emissions have fallen dramatically with air quality improving and it will be interesting to see what new policies emerge having had this enforced global experiment in travel reduction. Hopefully a new global imperative to tackle the bigger global threat will be seen as also the way to re-boot the global economy. On a personal note I have not had any spare time throughout the lock down as usual I have been stuck in doors on the computer, but at least no need to do any all nighters for now. I have never had an issue with nothing to do as always had more hobbies / voluntary work than time permits and work was mainly a source of income to conduct that part of my life. With 5 acres to maintain we have more 3 than

Bradley Gloucester RC&W Co.’s Diesel Multiple Units Rodger P Bradley As we know the history of the design and operation of diesel – or is it oil-engine powered? – multiple unit trains can be traced back well beyond nationalisation in 1948, although their use was not widespread in Britain until the mid 1950s. Today, we can see their most recent developments in the fixed formation sets operated over long distance routes on today’s networks, such as those of the Virgin Voyager design. It can be argued that the real ancestry can be seen in such as the experimental Michelin railcar and the Beardmore 3-car unit for the LMS in the 1930s, and the various streamlined GWR railcars of the same period. Whilst the idea of a self-propelled passenger vehicle, in the shape of numerous steam rail motors, was adopted by a number of the pre- grouping companies from around the turn of the 19th/20th century. (The earliest steam motor coach can be traced to 1847 – at the height of the so-called to modernise the rail network and its stock. ‘Railway Mania’.). However, perhaps in some ways surprisingly, the opportunity was not taken to introduce any new First of the “modern” multiple unit designs were techniques in design or construction methods, and built at Derby Works and introduced in 1954, as the majority of the early types were built on a the ‘lightweight’ series, and until 1956, only BR and traditional 57ft 0ins underframe.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

Conclusions 39 Appendix 1 41 2 Smart Growth UK __________________________________________________________________________ Smart Growth UK is an informal coalition of organisations and individuals who want to promote the Smart Growth approach to planning, transportation and communities. Smart Growth is an international movement dedicated to more sustainable approaches to these issues. In the UK it is based around a set of principles agreed by the organisations that support the Smart Growth UK coalition in 2013:- Urban areas work best when they are compact, with densities appropriate to local circumstances but generally significantly higher than low-density suburbia and avoiding high-rise. In addition to higher density, layouts are needed that prioritize walking, cycling and public transport so that they become the norm. We need to reduce our dependence on private motor vehicles by improving public transport, rail-based where possible, and concentrating development in urban areas. We should protect the countryside, farmland, natural beauty, open space, soil and biodiversity, avoiding urban sprawl and out-of-town development. We should protect and promote local distinctiveness and character and our heritage, respecting and making best use of historic buildings, street forms and settlement patterns.

  • A Public Consultation on Revised Proposals for the Transposition of Directive 2008/57/EC on the Interoperability of the Rail System
    A public consultation on revised proposals for the transposition of Directive 2008/57/EC on the interoperability of the rail system 1 October 2011 Contents Executive Summary 2 How to respond 2 Freedom of Information 3 The Consultation Criteria 4 What will happen next 4 The proposals 5 Longer term strategic issues 22 List of consultation questions 25 Annexes: A – List of those consulted B - The Consultation Criteria C – Draft Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2012 D - Transposition Note E – Draft List of Exclusions from Scope (GB) F – Draft Impact Assessment G – Directive 2008/57 (and updates) H – Commission Recommendation 2011/217 2 October 2011 Executive Summary i.) This consultation seeks views on draft regulations concerning the interoperability of the railways. These regulations are necessary to meet the requirements of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC which recast earlier versions and the deadline for implementation was 19 July 2010. The recast Directive contained new provisions for type authorisation of vehicles. It also has provisions for the reauthorisation process for vehicles authorised in another Member State which have been moved from the 2004 Safety Directive into the Interoperability Directive. ii.) The draft regulations will implement the Directive for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reauthorisation of vehicles for the UK half of the Channel Tunnel are dealt with in bi-national safety regulations. All other requirements in the Directive in relation to the Tunnel will be implemented through these draft interoperability regulations. iii.) This consultation builds on two earlier rounds of consultation which were published by the Department in 2009 and 2010.
