    President: Tom Hart 11 Queens Crescent Chairman: Dr. John McCormick Glasgow G4 9BL Secretary: Arthur Homan-Elsy Tel: 07760 381 729 Membership email: [email protected] Secretary: Scott Simpson Treasurer: John Ferris web: www.sapt.org.uk Scottish Association for Public Transport To: The Newsdesk 20/9/13 PRESS RELEASE: for Immediate Release The New Railway Race to the North* ScotRail Refranchising Opportunity The ScotRail refranchising Invitation to Tender is due to be issued this winter by Transport Scotland. The Scottish Association for Public Transport welcomes the investment in rail that is planned for Central Belt rail electrification between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling, the new Edinburgh-Glasgow High Speed Line, and the prospect of a fleet of new electric trains. But we are concerned that progress on improving InterCity links from Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, and Perth is lagging far behind. Planned road spending on the A9 and A96 will make rail much less competitive with the car, unless there is a major improvement in train speed and comfort in the near future. Our Association is today calling for a major upgrade of train services linking Inverness , Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth and the Central Belt. This should be specified by Transport Scotland in the ScotRail franchise Invitation to Tender. Details of our analysis are appended. These have also been sent to Transport Scotland, HITRANS, NESTRANS and TACTRAN. Dr. John McCormick, SAPT Chairman, said today: “The new ScotRail franchise to start in 2015 is expected to last for up to 10 years. This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity for a step-change in train travel in the Highlands, the North-east, and Tayside.

  • 60163 TORNADO New Steam for the Main Line
    60163 TORNADO New Steam for the Main Line Thursday 28th April 2011 Dear fellow covenantor Changes to Tornado’s 2011 tours diary and Brunswick Green unveiling at the National Railway Museum There have been a number of developments since the enclosed edition of The Communication Cord went to press that the Trustees of The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust need to share with you. We regret that it has not been possible to reach an acceptable working arrangement with Train Operating Company West Coast Railways in spite of many attempts over the past three years. Tornado will continue to be operated on the Network Rail main line by DB Schenker, which has worked successfully with the Trust since the locomotive’s completion in 2008. This change is unrelated to the recently completed repairs to Tornado’s boiler which took place at DB Meiningen. Unfortunately, this late change will result in a significant re-working of Tornado’s tours diary for the early part of the summer. As a consequence of not being able to work with West Coast Railways, Tornado will not now be hauling ‘The Cathedrals Express’ on Thursday 26th May (London to Bath & Bristol and return), Saturday 4th June (London King's Cross to York and return) and Saturday 11th June (London to Shrewsbury and return) promoted by Steam Dreams. The promoter will be in contact separately with those of you who originally booked on ‘The White Rose’ and transferred to ‘The Cathedrals Express on 4th June. Although Tornado will be ready for traffic for 26th May, her first main line train in her new Brunswick Green livery will now be ‘The Canterbury Tornado’ on Saturday 18th June from Poole (Tornado from Willesden) to Canterbury and return promoted by Pathfinder.

The garden around the Abbey Pulpit was thus exposed to the rear, and the dilapidated nature of its boundary fence left it vulnerable. In 1994 the pulpit was damaged by vandals, and in response Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council, the site owners, decided to renew the boundary wall and fence around the pulpit enclosure and tidy the garden within. The Abbey Pulpit lies within the scheduled area of Shrewsbury Abbey (Scheduled Monument No.: Shropshire 359). Scheduled monument consent for these works was granted in April 1995, with the provision that they should be accompanied by an agreed programme of archaeological investigation. In the light of a number of recent investigations in the immediate vicinity (Carver, 1975 and 1985; Hannaford, 1991; Watson, 1992), archaeological deposits were known to exist at a depth of 0.7m below ground level on the Abbey Foregate street frontage, extending to a depth of at least 1.8m at the rear of the pulpit enclosure.

    THE COMMUNICATION CORD No. 35 Summer 2014 ‘THE Mandy Grant Eddie Bobrowski BORDER RAIDER’ by Huw Parker A period of fine weather allowed Tornado's support crew plenty of opportunity to prepare the engine and coach to a high standard ahead of the run and both looked superb as they sat waiting to take charge of the train as it arrived at Crewe behind the DBS liveried class 90 electric locomotive. Preparation the day before saw the usual bout of frenetic activity cleaning and fully preparing the locomotive for the FTR - Fitness to Run examination. This was undertaken by Colin Green, who conducted a series of functional tests and a full mechanical inspection that ensures the engine meets the required standards to run over Network Rail. With this successfully completed, we were ready! On the day of the run, members of the support crew were again hard at work early to complete the final preparations and hand the locomotive over to the DBS crew who would take us North from Crewe to Carlisle. On this occasion, driver Keith Murfin and fireman Mark Dale under the watchful eye of traction inspector Bob Hart were to tackle the formidable climb northbound over Shap. The route northwards saw some good running despite a brief signal Heading for Carlisle, check at Newton le Willows, arriving a Tornado arrives at Preston few minutes down for the water stop at with ‘The Border Raider’.

Thanks to ➤ 1 editoriaL by Graham Langer CONTENTS As you can see, this is a packed edition of The Communication Cord, bulging with Page 1 news about Tornado’s recent adventures and the remarkable progress being made 'The Border Raider' with Prince of Wales.

  • For Reciprocating Steam Locomotives Mean Piston Speed
    P.1 of 4 Note 125. Historical Mean Piston Speed ( MPS ) for reciprocating steam locomotives Mean Piston Speed ( MPS ) has been much used in this review for the reason explained in Note 13 Part 1. It was thought that a historical look at this factor would be of interest to viewers. It was recognised quite early in the development of reciprocating steam locomotive engines that MPS was important in the stressing of the piston and connecting rod. With these parts always in ferrous material, and so of the same density, their stress is proportional to ( MPS )2. In standard steam engine design the piston, being double-acting, is supported by a cross-head outside the cylinder. Therefore it is not subjected to side loads and can be very short and just sufficient to carry sealing rings. In the 1907 GWR “ Star ” class ( for which a drawing is available, thanks to GWR and “ Childrens’ Encyclopedia ”! ) the axial length was only 11% of the stroke. For locomotive steam engines travelling at V MPH on driving wheels of D feet in diameter and with a piston stroke of S feet the relation is MPS = 56.02 x ( S/D ) x V ft/min. Examples ( 1 ). In 1838 Isambard Brunel ordered a pair of locomotives from an outside builder for the GWR and specified that MPS should not exceed 280 ft/min ( 1.4 m/s ) at 30 MPH ( Ref. 1 ). This for cast iron pistons at something under 140C and with wrought iron connecting rods. Actually, Brunel’s specification could only be met by having the cylinders carried on their own set of wheels, with the crank geared-up 2.3:1 to the driving pair, and with the boiler carried separately on another-truck ( see Fig.
