SUMMARY:The Settle and Carlisle Line - The 1960's to the present day
DESCRIPTION:Physical meeting at Shenfield Parish Hall which will also be available on Zoom as a Hybrid Meeting. \nThis presentation explains and records the changing fortunes of the Settle and Carlisle line from the last days of steam in the 1960s\, through the years of decline towards expected closure\, its reprieve in 1989 and subsequent resurgence. \n100 pictures illustrate the variety of steam and diesel workings to be seen over the decades. All of these are set against the backdrop of the structures and scenery of this most scenic of routes\, as well as the ever changing and sometimes extreme weather.

SUMMARY:British Rail 1986 to 1992 - The Evolution of Business Management
DESCRIPTION:Physical meeting at Shenfield Parish Hall which will also be available on Zoom as a Hybrid Meeting. \nIn 1982 BR created new business units. Passenger Services were split into InterCity\, Network SouthEast and Provincial Services\, freight was split into Trainload\, Speedlink and Freightliner and a parcels sector was created. Mervyn Rogers will explore how this Sectorisation came about and how this affected the run-up to Privatisation.

SUMMARY:The North Eastern Railway from Stockton and Darlington to the ECML
DESCRIPTION:Physical meeting at Shenfield Parish Hall which will also be available on Zoom as a Hybrid Meeting. \nThe history of the NER was made-up of several earlier and smaller individual railways. The Tanfield Railway\, originally a wagonway dating from as early as 1725\, the iconic Stockton and Darlington Railway\, the Clarence Railway\, Stanhope & Tyne Railway\, Newcastle & Carlisle Railway\, the Leeds & Selby and more\, made the ultimate NER and the first East Coast Main Line. \nThe contribution of the latterly-discredited George Hudson\, The Railway King\, with was his foresight and ambition led to the establishment of that first route. All of the many changes from the first to the current East Coast main line via Doncaster\, York\, Darlington\, Durham and Newcastle to connect with the North British Railway at Berwick-on-Tweed are illustrated. \nThe NER also set the standard for early electrification\, a standard initially adopted by BR\, this too is illustrated.
