  • News Update July 2017
    Council of Tramway Museums of Australasia Inc. www.cotma.org.au News Update July 2017 From the Chairman Welcome to our third COTMA News Update for 2017. In this issue we report on the recent FEDECRAIL conference held in Antwerp, Belgium and attended by Warren Doubleday, and the NZ FRONZ conference in Dunedin which I attended. As I write this I am preparing to travel to Melbourne for the COTMA AGM on Tuesday (25 July) and an Executive meeting which will follow. At the Executive meeting we have a number of important issues to discuss, including spare parts - note the references further below to Wellington (trolley bus closure), and PC5 equipment, as well as getting an update on Melbourne W’s and equipment. All member museums will have received an invitation to the AGM and should by now have indicated whether they will be attending. The annual conference of the Federation of Rail Organisations of NZ (FRONZ) was well attended by both railway and tramway groups from around N.Z. and included rail trips on the Taieri Gorge line and on the main line to Oamaru as well as visits to the local Gasworks Museum, the Ocean Beach Railway and Toitu Otago Settlers Museum which includes in its collection former Maryhill Cable car No. 106, Roslyn Electric tram No. 1 (restored at Ferrymead) and Dunedin Trolley bus No 10. The Settlers Museum was the venue for an informative talk about the Dunedin Cable car systems and proposals to set up an operating cable car museum using restored cable cars from Ferrymead.

We now have 350 issues of The Circular under our belts, so here‟s to the next 350. This issue we begin with an obituary of late Honorary Life Member Douglas Butterfield, by his (and our) great friend Frank Robertshaw. Further on, a novelty is possibly the first ever poem in our magazine, written by Keith Preston when inspired by the Welsh landscape. We have liberal helpings of Ben‟s Bits this time, as I had many contributions from Ben that deserve an airing, and few from other members. So, the coffers are fairly empty now (except for a few Outer Circle articles from Geoff Butland, reissued by Frank Robertshaw) – please put pen to paper and keep the magazine going. I had no submissions for cover photos, so we have one from the Editor himself this year. Recent news on BBC Radio we heard that DMUs not being built as quickly as needed, because of problems at Bombardier Derby and also because investors (required to fund new stock) cannot be found due to declining confidence in diesel as an economically viable fuel for the future.

House of Lords: Lord Grocott (Lab) - Vice-Chair Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Lab) - Vice-Chair Lord Snape (Lab) Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru) Secretariat: Chris Austin, OBE - Secretary 2 PART ONE – KEY RECOMMENDATIONS AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Key recommendations. The Group has made six key recommendations as a result of this inquiry: FOR GOVERNMENT 1. Planning Law. Heritage railways should be able to benefit from the same permitted development rights as Network Rail does on the national network. We believe guidance is needed to prevent over-zealous interpretation of planning legislation and regulation stifling development of heritage railways. 2. Railway extensions. The requirements for a Transport & Works Act Order for modest extensions to heritage lines should be simplified, possibly using an on-line proforma application process. 3. Sponsorship. The Department for Transport should take the lead sponsorship role on policies affecting heritage railways. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport should remain responsible for policy on tourism issues and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills for apprenticeships, training and development. FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES 4. Public Transport. There is scope to provide a public transport service on some heritage railways and a „public tourist service‟ on some others which should 3 be further developed and encouraged.
