The main aims of the study were as follows: Review options for a rail alignment, including high level capital costs; The operation of the shuttle service – how it will fit in with current and proposed plans for increases in services on the Cotswold Line; The level of service required to meet the potential demand; Possible rolling stock options, including high level operating costs; and Potential train operators. During the inception meeting held on 14th February 2018, it was also agreed that other potential options for the route would be discussed. This report contains the findings of the study. 2 Forecasting disclaimer This report has been prepared specifically for and under the instructions of Stratford-on-Avon District Council under an appointment dated 14 February 2018.

The route forms the southern section of the former rail line between Honeybourne and Stratford- upon-Avon town, which closed in the mid-1970s and is now a leisure route known as the ‘Stratford Greenway’ used by walkers and cyclists. The existing freight-only branch extends approximately 4.8km northwards from Honeybourne station to a point just south of Station Road to serve the Long Marston Depot. Long Marston station itself has been redeveloped as a small business/industrial park. North of Station Road the former route is now the Stratford Greenway. Some 2km to the north is the site of the Long Marston Airfield Garden Village. Figure 1 shows the location of Long Marston Airfield.

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.

  • Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE
    ITEM 1 TRANSPORT COMMITTEE NEWS 07 MARCH 2000 This report may be of interest to: All Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE Accountable Officer: John Inman Author: Stephen Mortimer 1. Purpose 1.1 To advise the Committee of developments relating to Milton Keynes’ rail services. 2. Summary 2.1 West Coast Main Line Modernisation and Upgrade is now in the active planning stage. It will result in faster and more frequent train services between Milton Keynes Central and London, and between Milton Keynes Central and points north. Bletchley and Wolverton will also have improved services to London. 2.2 Funding for East-West Rail is now being sought from the Shadow Strategic Rail Authority (SSRA) for the western end of the line (Oxford-Bedford). Though the SSRA have permitted a bid only for a 60 m.p.h. single-track railway, excluding the Aylesbury branch and upgrade of the Marston Vale (Bedford-Bletchley) line, other Railtrack investment and possible developer contributions (yet to be investigated) may allow these elements to be included, as well as perhaps a 90 m.p.h. double- track railway. As this part of East-West Rail already exists, no form of planning permission is required; however, Transport and Works Act procedures are to be started to build the missing parts of the eastern end of the line. 2.3 New trains were introduced on the Marston Vale line, Autumn 1999. A study of the passenger accessibility of Marston Vale stations identified various desirable improvements, for which a contribution of £10,000 is required from this Council.

  • Flywheel Energy Storage Systems for Rail
    Imperial College London Department of Mechanical Engineering Flywheel Energy Storage Systems for Rail Matthew Read November 2010 Thesis submitted for the Diploma of the Imperial College (DIC), PhD degree of Imperial College London 1 I declare that the research presented in this Thesis is my own work and that the work of others is properly acknowledged and referenced. Matthew Read 2 Abstract In current non-electrified rail systems there is a significant loss of energy during vehicle braking. The aim of this research has been to investigate the potential benefits of introducing onboard regenerative braking systems to rail vehicles. An overview of energy saving measures proposed within the rail industry is presented along with a review of different energy storage devices and systems developed for both rail and automotive applications. Advanced flywheels have been identified as a candidate energy storage device for rail applications, combining high specific power and energy. In order to assess the potential benefits of energy storage systems in rail vehicles, a computational model of a conventional regional diesel train has been developed. This has been used to define a base level of vehicle performance, and to investigate the effects of energy efficient control strategies focussing on the application of coasting prior to braking. The impact of these measures on both the requirements of an energy storage system and the potential benefits of a hybrid train have been assessed. A detailed study of a range of existing and novel mechanical flywheel transmissions has been performed. The interaction between the flywheel, transmission and vehicle is investigated using a novel application-independent analysis method which has been developed to characterise and compare the performance of different systems.
