    BOROUGH COUNCIL OF WELLINGBOROUGH AGENDA ITEM 4 Development Committee 17 February 2020 Report of the Principal Planning Manager Local listing of the Roundhouse and proposed Article 4 Direction 1 Purpose of report For the committee to consider and approve the designation of the Roundhouse (or number 2 engine shed) as a locally listed building and for the committee to also approve an application for the addition of an Article 4(1) direction to the building in order to remove permitted development rights and prevent unauthorised demolition. 2 Executive summary 2.1 The Roundhouse is a railway locomotive engine shed built in 1872 by the Midland Railway. There is some concern locally that the building could be demolished and should be protected. It was not considered by English Heritage to be worthy of national listing but it is considered by the council to be worthy of local listing. 2.2 Local listing does not protect the building from demolition but is a material consideration in a planning application. 2.3 An article 4(1) direction would be required to be in place to remove the permitted development rights of the owner. In this case it would require the owner to seek planning permission for the partial or total demolition of the building. 3 Appendices Appendix 1 – Site location plan Appendix 2 – Photos of site Appendix 3 – Historic mapping Appendix 4 – Historic England report for listing Appendix 5 – Local list criteria 4 Proposed action: 4.1 The committee is invited to APPROVE that the Roundhouse is locally listed and to APPROVE that an article 4 (1) direction can be made.

    MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT RAILWAY ACCIDENT REPORT ON THE COLLISION which occurred on 11th April 1961 at WATERLOO in the SOUTHERN REGION BRITISH RAILWAYS LONDON: HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE : 1961 PRlrF IS 3d. NI, l SKETCH SHOWING PART OF THE LAYOUT AT WATERLOO NOT TO SCALL 31sr October, 1961. SIR, I have the honour to report, for the information of the Minister of Transport, in accordance with the Order dated 13th April, 1961, the result of my Inquiry into the collision between an electric passenger train and an engine, which occurred at 5.26 pm.. on 11th April. 1961, at Waterloo, in the Southern Region, British Railways. The 4.38 pm. 8-coach multiple unit electric passenger train from Effingham Junction to Waterloo (via Epsom) was approaching Waterloo on the Up Main Local line. It was to be stopped at the outer home signal (a colour light), which was at Red, for the engine to pass in the Down direction from the Down Main Through line across the Up Main Local line to the Down Main Local line, en route to the Motive Power Depot. The electric train, however, failed to stop at the signal and collided head on with the engine on the crossover which had been reversed for the latter, at a point about 195 yards beyond the signal. At the time of the collision the electric train was travelling at 20-25 miles per hour and the engine at about 12 m.p.h. The engine was running tender leading and its driver only became aware of the electric train at the last moment, and was unable to slacken speed.

  • John Castle's Story
    MY ‘O’ GAUGE STORY JOHN CASTLE Canham Junction track and wiring diagram Canham Junction and the Tilbrook branch are privately owned and are sited in a 20ft x 14ft shed across a 14ft roadway opposite the club room. The two sheds are connected by a removable bridging piece in two sections. These sections are covered against the weather, which can be very wet and windy. The double track line enters at one end under Canham station road over bridge and leaves the other end under a three arch bridge over which a narrow country lane passes to Tilbrook. The branch leaves the main line and swings to the left, under another small road bridge, over a small stream and still swinging to the left passes over a level crossing and into the little country terminus of Tilbrook. At Canham there are 2 station shunters a J50 and an F7, and a D49 ‘Derbyshire’ ready to depart with the morning local passenger to the north. At the end of the branch at Tilbrook shed is another D49 ‘Berkshire’ preparing the through parcels to Bath, a push-pull fitted G5 for the 2 coach branch passenger train, a J24 to deal with the 2 goods trains daily each way, and an ex Wisbech & Upwell 0-4-0tramloco’ as a shunter.

I have the honour to report for the information of the Secretary of State, in accordance with the Order dated 5th June 1975, the results of my Inquiry into the collision between an electric passenger train and a goods train at about 09.15 on 31st May 1975 near Rutherglen Station in the Scottish Region of British Railways. On a fine sunny morning, the 08.25 Glasgow Central-Hamilton-Glasgow Central electric multiple-unit passenger train, consisting of six coaches, having stopped at Rutherglen Station on its inward journey, was crossing from the Down Slow line to the Down Fast line when it was struck by the 12.45 (30th May) Northfleet to Uddingston diesel hauled cement train which was proceeding in the Up direction along the Down Slow line towards Rutherglen. As a result of the collision, the leading four coaches of the passenger train were derailed, as was the locomotive of the cement train: the rear two coaches of the passenger train and all the wagons of the cement train remained on the line. The overhead electric power was immediately discharged as a result of the collision. The emergency services were promptly alerted and were quickly on the scene. Thirty four passengers and three railway staff were injured in the collision and all except one passenger, who unfortunately was trapped, were quickly removed to hospital; all except one were discharged the same day.

  • Photographic Memories of Old Wigston Stations.Pdf
    Photographic Memories of the old Wigston Stations Compiled & Presented by Tony Danvers Second Edition January 2015 Front Cover Illustration: Wigston South Railway Station circa 1905 (See page 7). PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORIES OF THE OLD WIGSTON STATIONS Based on an exhibition of photographs presented by Tony Danvers at the Bassett Street Library, South Wigston, October 2014. Printed by Central Print Services, Pen Lloyd Building, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicester. LE3 8RA 1 Foreword Professor Hoskins told us to “write our history down” but Tony has gone one better, he has produced a story in pictures. We are told, via these wonderful photographs, of the stations and the trains that once existed in Wigston in far more graphic detail than words could possible do. Finding, collecting, collating and presenting the past in a format that leaves nothing to the imagination, Tony has a gift for searching out photos and information and presenting them in such an interesting way. This book makes one suddenly realise that nearly 50 years have passed since the South Wigston railway line and the “beloved” level crossing over the Blaby Road was closed. Not long after the closure of the line British Rail proposed that the line should be re-opened and electrified, that is until someone pointed out to them that they had already sold the land to Nabisco. Not many people may know that there once existed a fourth Wigston station and Tony has even included part of a map showing where it once existed close to Glen Parva Station (see page 136). So thank you Tony for continuing to preserve our past and by doing so enabling future Wigston generations to appreciate and to fully understand their fascinating past history.

  • Measuring the Energy of Trains
    From Shovels to CTs – Measuring the Energy of Trains By Doug Landau Introduction How much energy does a train use? From the earliest days, promoters of the first steam railways were concerned, not so much with energy, but its close proxy, the cost of fuel, often expressed in terms of shovelfuls per mile. This primitive measure set a tradition that continued, especially in the hands of footplate inspectors, almost to the last days of steam. By degrees, more sophisticated approaches and methods were evolved, and although the development of testing techniques almost continued until the dying days of steam, they never quite reached a state of technical perfection. The steam locomotive proved to be a difficult customer for scientific analysis, always challenging in multiple ways the available metrological “know how”. This struggle was inevitable. Until about 200 hundred years ago, technology (the ability to make things that work), generally marched a long way ahead of the science (a formal understanding of how things work). A good example would be the ubiquitous bow and arrow contrived around the world thousands of years ago, an invention devised with no knowledge whatever of Newton‟s Laws of Motion, or Hooke‟s Law of Elasticity. It was not until the Renaissance that a symbiosis between engineering and science steadily evolved; ultimately delivering the many remarkable technologies we take for granted today. It is not without some irony, that whereas monitoring the performance and energy demands of the relatively primitive technology of steam trains, ultimately involved sophisticated and expensive dynamometer cars, stationary test plants, considerable instrumentation, and test teams involving about a dozen or so engineers, electric traction requires little more than a current transformer, voltage transformer and a kilowatt-hour (KWH) meter, which would fit comfortably into a suitcase.
