Preface Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner. -

Retro Underground: the Seventies to the Noughties – 3
RETRO UNDERGROUND: THE SEVENTIES TO THE NOUGHTIES – 3. OTHER EVENTS by Tony Morgan My earliest memories of the Underground are during the Second World War travelling from Kingsbury on the Bakerloo Line into London and sometimes on to Kent on the Southern Railway to visit relations. In 1968, after ten years of driving to North Acton, I started commuting in to Great Portland Street. While I was there the second section of the Victoria Line opened as far as Warren Street. One lunchtime I decided to have a quick trip on it. The 1967 Stock train came in to reverse back. The Train Operator was standing in the cab with his back to the direction of travel as the ATO stopped the train. Maybe this was being done to build confidence in the new control system. Travelling home one day from Great Portland Street I saw the latest LT Magazine on display in the ticket office. I then started buying it on a regular basis. The front cover of that first edition had a photograph of the C69 Stock about to be introduced on the Circle Line on it. From that magazine I found out about ‘The Last Drop’ event at Neasden Depot, on Sunday 6 June 1971 advertised, which celebrated the end of use of steam locomotives for engineers’ operations. There I joined the Society because of their Sales Stand. This was my first organised event. At this event all three remaining locomotives were in steam. L94 hauled a rake of engineers’ vehicles from the City and pulled into one of two Klondyke Sidings in Neasden depot. -

London Transport Railways
London Transport Railways The following selection of images is of the stock displayed in the “Underground Centenary” exhibition held at Neasden Depot, which we visited on Saturday 25th May 1963...... Sadly and inexplicably the Metropolitan Railway F class 0-6-2T locomotive L52 featured here was scrapped soon afterwards, but most of the other items, or examples of them were preserved at the later London Transport Museum, on the Bluebell and Worth Valley Railways, and elsewhere. In 1963 and for about 10 years afterwards, there was still plenty of vintage interest to be seen out and about on the London Transport lines. The picture (right) shows a train of Metropolitan F stock at New Cross Gate, East London Line, on 17th August 1963...... and here is an old G stock motor car trailing a District line train out of Richmond station on a very wet and misty morning of 4th April 1964...... On that day we travelled extensively around the extremities of the system on a “Combined Rover” day ticket. At the former Great Eastern Railway station of Woodford, Essex we were surprised to find an “automatic” or “driverless” train trial in progress using one of the experimental units, on the Hainault Loop line. These were the first tests of the system later used on the new Victoria Line. Note the aerial on the front of the cab, and temporary wiring...... The weather did not improve as we ventured on to Epping, then to Ongar....... The latter still retaining its air of a country branch terminus despite the use of modern stock (right) A contrast between station architectures is seen at Cockfosters (below left), an iconic LT 1930s design, and High Barnet (right) almost unaltered from its origins as a Great Northern Railway branch terminus... -
Draft Local List and Supporting Guidance
Camden’s Local List Consultation Draft October 2013 Camden’s Local List - Consultation Draft Consultation on draft Local List and supporting guidance We are consulting on this draft version of Camden’s Local List and the supporting guidance which is set out in amendments to Camden Planning Guidance 1: Design. If you would like to comment on the draft Local List, suggest new additions, or comment on the supporting guidance please visit: www.wearecamden.org/camden-local-list. The consultation runs from 28 October - 20 December 2013. Why do we need a Local List in Camden? Some parts of Camden’s historic environment are already well documented and protected through designa- tion (e.g. listed buildings). A Local List contains elements of the historic environment that are not already des- ignated but which nonetheless contribute to a sense of place, local distinctiveness and civic pride. These are known as ‘non-designated heritage assets’. These features help make a place special for local people; they carry history, traditions, stories and memories into the present day and add depth of meaning to a modern place. They help give Camden its distinctive identity. What does it mean to be on the List? Local Listing identifies locally significant buildings, landscapes and features of heritage value – but like any designation - it is not a preservation order. Locally listed buildings can still be altered, or in rare cases demol- ished, once the case has been made and all other options have been explored as part of the planning process. The Local List and the accompanying Camden Planning Guidance help ensure that change is balanced with the heritage significance of the building or feature in question. -
