  • Metro-Cammell Diesel-Electric Pullman Trains by R
    Metro-Cammell Diesel-Electric Pullman Trains By R. P. Bradley On 24 June 1960 a demonstration run of BR's diesel-electric Pullman train took place between Marylebone and High Wycombe. The six and eight-car trains were designed and built by the Metropolitan-Cammell Carriage & Wagon Co. for the Pullman Car Company, to be operated on the LMR and WR respectively. The Railway Gazette used an interesting phrase as it reported the new arrivals; "The term de-luxe applied by the British Transport Commission to the new diesel- electric Pullman multiple- unit trains which begin operations shortly in the London Midland and Western Regions of British Railways suggests an over-abundance of rare but desirable qualities which are not necessary for life." The British Transport Commission’s Press Release for 23rd June 1960 described them as: “These 90 mph de-luxe diesel expresses - there are five of them altogether-are of an entirely new type designed to bring a fresh conception of main-line railway passenger travel to Britain, with superior standards of comfort, and a personal service of' meals and refreshments for all passengers.” A brief look at the internal appointments of these trains certainly lends weight to those ideas. One of the 8-car Western Region units on the Bristol Pullman. The reasoning behind the introduction of these units was basically to attract the businessman to rail travel; or perhaps to return to rail travel, for BR had by 1960 to be on a competitive footing with air transport. The new Metro- Cammell pullmans were prestigious trains, and turned out in a striking blue and white livery.

  • Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Co. 1St
    Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Co. 1st Generation DMU’s for British Railways A Review Rodger P. 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.

  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
    The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.

  • The Railcar Association Bulletin November 2011
    The Railcar Association Bulletin November 2011 Introduction A busy bulletin this time thanks to the number of contributions and the coincidental number of newsworthy events that have involved DMUs over the last two months. The highlight was of course the annual convention which we are pleased to report came off without a hitch. The Association would like to thank the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway for their efforts in accommodating us. It may be a cliché but I had feedback from several individuals who thought the convention was one of the best in recent years. Following feedback from members, we have agreed the dates and venue for the next convention nice and early, so there will be no excuses for not getting time off work! I hope you all agree that the choice for next years event is a good one. Finally, a separate “Restoration & Overhauls” section has been included this issue, as groups have clearly been busy this autumn doing lots of work on preserved vehicles. 17th Annual Railcar Convention The Railcar Association are pleased to announce that the 17th Annual Convention will be held at the Great Central Railway from Friday 7th September to Sunday 9th September 2012. This will be the first time the Great Central have hosted the event, which should prove unique with the railway’s mainline ethos and five mile double track section. Following feedback from members, the initial announcement has been made earlier than normal so delegates have plenty of time to make arrangements with work etc. This means much of the weekend is still to be planned and confirmed, and updates will be released during 2012.

    Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Department for Transport and Network Rail Modernising the Great Western railway HC 781 SESSION 2016-17 9 NOVEMBER 2016 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Sir Amyas Morse KCB, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 785 people. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of £1.21 billion in 2015. Department for Transport and Network Rail Modernising the Great Western railway Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on 8 November 2016 This report has been prepared under Section 6 of the National Audit Act 1983 for presentation to the House of Commons in accordance with Section 9 of the Act Sir Amyas Morse KCB Comptroller and Auditor General National Audit Office 4 November 2016 HC 781 | £10.00 This report examines planning and programme management of the Great Western Route Modernisation industry programme as a result of significant issues arising on delivery of the programme.

If you want to read the waffle about how great it all is and what jolly good chaps the Welsh Government and KeolisAmey are, then the official press releases and Ministerial Statements can be found online.
