  • 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.

  • 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.

    Newsletter March 2021 Edition This Month: Committee reports Upcoming events – How the new government timetable affects our plans News snippets E10 & E5 fuel Spring woes TV programmes Gallery Caption Competition And finally… Gentlemen, our MG dress standards have fallen over the years! Secretary’s Report Most of us have found this second lockdown worse, with rather dreary weather keeping us indoors. I suppose the upside is that I am not missing many opportunities for top-down motoring. The MGR is safely in the garage avoiding the biblical wind and rain, while I have been dealing with domestic issues as our Tavy Cottage heating decided to fail in the coldest of the weather. Not that looking at the TV has brought much solace, with the constant rehashing of the impact of COVID on our News channels. I don’t know whether news producers think that leading us into a succession of desperate family tragedies is necessary to remind us that COVID is bad, but someone ought to have noticed that the cumulative effect is profoundly dispiriting. Either way, TV news does not seem to feel responsibility for any of this and, more than this, seems unable to move with the times. I don’t think that anyone is interested in the usual circus of trying to trap politicians with their own words – but it seems that this is what journalists think their job is. Nevertheless, as I type there is a tangible sense of spring in the air. Birds are singing their hearts out, the sky is a strange shade of blue that I almost remember, and everywhere the trees, bushes and plants are getting more muscular by the day, with buds ready to explode with their seasonal message of renewal and goodwill.

  • Number 71 – September/October 2004
    PRESERVED COACHING STOCK OF BRITISH RAILWAYS AMENDMENT SHEET NUMBER 71 September/October 2004 SPECIAL AND CHARTER TRAIN COACHING STOCK 1) Old Oak Common Fire During the evening of 5 th September a fire started in Fragonset Railways Mark 1 RBR 1981 stabled at Old Oak Common. The London Fire Brigade preliminary investigation concluded that the fire had been caused as a result of the boiler in the kitchen area of the carriage having been left on and consequently boiling dry. The consequential fire then burnt through the bottom of the boiler, then through the aluminium floor of the kitchen before spreading through the whole carriage and to adjacent carriages before being brought under control by the fire brigade. In addition to the extensive damage to 1981 it is understood that Mark 2 FOs 3429 and 3300 coupled either side of it were severely damaged along with lesser damage to FO 3337 coupled to 3300. On adjacent sidings and extensively damaged were Mark 2 TSOs 5814 and 5816 on one side and Mark 2 TSOs 5389 SIR GALAHAD and 5420 LYONNESSE on the other. Other carriages close by also suffered from smoke damage. 2) Fragonset Railways Mark 1 RBR 1657 has been acquired from the Llangollen Railway (see below) and moved to the companies Derby workshops. An extensive overhaul is now taking place prior to this carriage entering service to replace fire damaged RBR 1981 (see above). 3) Riviera Trains Mark 2 TSO 5275 has been taken out of use and disposed of as shown below.

  • No. 4. the Atlantic Coast Express – Southern Railway
    No. 4. The Atlantic Coast Express – Southern Railway First published in the Meccano Magazine April 1927 Although the famous express leaving Waterloo at eleven o’clock in the morning can look back on a long history – much longer indeed, than that of the rival “Cornish Riviera Limited” express out of Paddington – it is barely for a year past that it has enjoyed the dignity of the name. It is an excellent name, too. “Atlantic Coast Express” aptly sums up the fact that this train, ere its journey is done, will have distributed parts of itself over much of the coast washed by the mighty Atlantic Ocean, both north and south of Devon and in North Cornwall as well. We may well pause for a look at Waterloo Terminus before we pass through the barrier to our train. Waterloo, once the most awkward and inconvenient of all London termini, and invariable topic for comic papers, a “maze” where one might hunt for a long, long time before running the right train to earth – Waterloo has now developed into the biggest and finest of all our stations. It was the fact that so many additions had been tacked on to the original Waterloo – four in all since the first opening in 1848 – that made it such a labyrinth in days gone by. Now, by a marvellous feat of engineering, the 1 new station had been built round and over the original, without any interruptions of its enormous traffic. The New Waterloo Apart from the arresting frontage of the station, it’s most remarkable feature is the vast “concourse,” or circulating space for passengers, which extends almost across the whole width of the station.

  • Wimbledon, 1951-53 (And a Few Other Railway Memories)
    Wimbledon, 1951-53 (and a few other railway memories) JDB, August 2013, minor additions and corrections May/August 2015 Neither this nor its companion piece “Derby Day, 1949” lays claim to any particular literary or other merit; they are merely pieces of first-hand reportage which may perhaps be of interest to future transport historians. In September 1951, I started going to school in Wimbledon. This involved a train journey morning and evening, an experience which put me off commuting for life but which also led to an interest in railways that still survives. In particular, one of the ways of walking from the station to school followed a footpath alongside the railway for the first half mile or so. Wimbledon is seven miles out of Waterloo, on what was originally the main line of the London and Southampton Railway. In due course, this became the London and South Western, then it was grouped into the Southern Railway, and by 1951 it had become part of British Railways. The lines from Waterloo divide at Clapham Junction, a line towards Windsor and Reading branching off to the north, and there are several connections between the two. One is at Putney, where a steep climb leads up to East Putney station on the Wimbledon branch of the London Underground District Line, and a Waterloo to Wimbledon suburban service via East Putney used this until 1941. Wimbledon station had been completely rebuilt in 1929, and in 1951 it comprised ten platforms. Four were terminal platforms for the District Line, this side of the station being essentially self-contained though there was a connection from the East Putney line to the main line just outside.
