The Dover Pullman Boat Express
No. 7 - The Dover Pullman Boat Express First published in the Meccano Magazine July 1927 What the real name of the train is I could not say. For many years past the “Eleven o’clock” service from Victoria has been familiar to travellers all over the Continent but our train this month cannot rightly be called the “Eleven o’clock,” because it starts at 10:45! It is, in fact a first portion of the 11 a.m. train, designed to give its fortunate passengers the choice of places on the boat at Dover. Sometimes it is called the “Golden Arrow,” but that name belongs to the French express that runs in connection on the other side of the Channel, and which was described in the May article. The rudest name that I have heard bestowed upon the 10.45 down is that of the enginemen who, in joint recognition of the beautiful cream and umber livery of the Pullmans and the enormous weight of the train, have nicknamed it the “White Elephant.” It will be agreed that so famous a train as this needs a name of its own, and one day perhaps the Southern Railway authorities will think out some telling designation, to rank with the “Southern Belle” and the “Atlantic Express.” Meanwhile it is difficult to write an article of this character in description of a train without a name! 1 Popularity of the Train So far from being a “White Elephant” in reality, the 10.45 a.m. from Victoria is one of the best-paying trains on the line. -

The drivers for further electrification are seen as: ~ reduced rolling stock leasing, maintenance and operating costs; ~ reduced infrastructure maintenance costs; ~ improved rolling stock reliability; ~ reduced journey times and potential reduction in rolling stock requirement; ~ shorter freight routeings and potential release of capacity through more consistent train performance; ~ ability to haul greater freight loads; ~ enhancing capacity on un-electrified routes through cascade of diesel rolling stock; ~ increased network availability through provision of diversionary routes; ~ lower emissions and reduced noise; ~ compliance with environmental policy legislation.

A CRITICAL EVALUATION of the LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD of the CHALK UPLANDS of NORTHWEST EUROPE Lesley
A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CHALK UPLANDS OF NORTHWEST EUROPE The Chilterns, Pegsdon, Bedfordshire (photograph L. Blundell) Lesley Blundell UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD September 2019 2 I, Lesley Blundell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 3 4 Abstract Our understanding of early human behaviour has always been and continues to be predicated on an archaeological record unevenly distributed in space and time. More than 80% of British Lower-Middle Palaeolithic findspots were discovered during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, the majority from lowland fluvial contexts. Within the British planning process and some academic research, the resultant findspot distributions are taken at face value, with insufficient consideration of possible bias resulting from variables operating on their creation. This leads to areas of landscape outside the river valleys being considered to have only limited archaeological potential. This thesis was conceived as an attempt to analyse the findspot data of the Lower-Middle Palaeolithic record of the Chalk uplands of southeast Britain and northern France within a framework complex enough to allow bias in the formation of findspot distribution patterns and artefact preservation/discovery opportunities to be identified and scrutinised more closely. Taking a dynamic, landscape = record approach, this research explores the potential influence of geomorphology, 19th/early 20th century industrialisation and antiquarian collecting on the creation of the Lower- Middle Palaeolithic record through the opportunities created for artefact preservation and release. -
