SUMMARY:Timetable Planning - A Dark Art\, Plus More.
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by Dave Hepper. \nAfter a career in Operational Planning\, retired Anglia Train Planning Manager Dave Hepper will be talking on how (and how not) to plan a timetable. But not just timetabling\, Dave will also explain how traction and traincrew diagrams resource the timetable\, and touch on traincrew rosters too. \nA complex subject\, but by using examples from the Elizabeth line timetable\, where Dave retired after 43 years service\, hopefully the myth that timetabling is a ‘Dark Art’ can be dispelled. \nDoors open 13:30 for 14:00 start.

SUMMARY:WFD Branch Meeting - 'From the Back of the Cupboard'\, by Steve Batty\, 3rd March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Steve Batty heads south again to present ‘From the Back of the Cupboard’\, because it’s made up of B&W shots he has always ignored before when putting a show together\, but which he thinks really deserve a viewing. It also made him wonder why B&W gets ignored so much\, so made the show entirely B&W.  Some are 35mm but most are medium format 6×7. Steam and modern traction both feature in the presentation. \nPlease note this is a physical meeting\, doors open from 18:30 for a 19:00 start\, with a half-time break for refreshments\, and we aim to finish around 21:30.

SUMMARY:Lance King in Ulster\, 1957-1970\, The NCC in Action
DESCRIPTION:The NCC (“Northern Counties Committee”) was the Irish arm of the LMS (and the MR before that). The talk is mainly 1958 – 1970 when the NCC ran the last mainline steam in these islands. Using the slides of the late Lance King\, I will take you on a trip along the lines still open from Larne Harbour (ship to Scotland) to Belfast\, then from Belfast to Londonderry and Portrush. Along the route\, a few flasbacks to earlier days in Black and White. A short diversion to show NCC locos on the former Great Northern. We finish with an extensive coverage of “The Spoil Trains”: Thousand ton trains of stone worked by a 2-6-4T at each end – lots of lovely action shots. Steam’s Last Challenge”

SUMMARY:Railways Remembered Lake District and North Lancashire
DESCRIPTION:Railways Remembered: Lake District and North Lancashire \nThis title is a follow-up to Railways Remembered: North East England and is due for publication in spring 2026. One of the co-authors\, Charles Roberts\, tells how the project came to fruition\, illustrating his talk with a series of maps and images\, most of which didn’t quite make the cut for the finished product. In full colour\, it follows a similar format using Carlisle and the Preston-Blackburn-Burnley axis as its north and south boundary points. Featured heavily are the West Coast Main Line\, with its steep grades\, water troughs and remote scenery\, and the Cumbrian Coast. Long closed branches to places such as Silloth\, Keswick\, Coniston and Lake Side also feature. All facets of railway operations are covered: steam\, diesel and electric; town and country; freight and passenger; BR and industry.
