SUMMARY:The Great Eastern Railway: ‘Rarely other than Idiosynchratic’
DESCRIPTION:Following the openings\, in successive years\, of the significant London main line stations at London Bridge\, Euston and then Paddington\, there followed a minor station in Mile End as the terminus of a railway planned to link the capital to Norwich via Colchester and Ipswich. Another early railway was to use the same terminus\, but connect London to York via Cambridge and Lincoln. This second line ground to a halt halfway to Cambridge\, but was piggy-backed by the first\, who used it to gain Norwich via Cambridge and Ely\, so deserting the shorter route via Ipswich. A rival concern from Ipswich then rapidly completed the direct route. Not only did East Anglia then have two disjointed main line routes to Norwich\, but also other independent connections and a plethora of idiosyncratic rural branch lines\, all of which amalgamated to form the Great Eastern who soon after opened a prominent terminus in the City. The story is told\, and many of the routes are travelled in this presentation\, one of a trilogy railways in the ‘Eastern Region’. Ray is a retired Chartered Engineer who has undertaken some rail tour management for both LCGB & a worldwide rail travel company. Widely travelled\, much of which has been independent\, around the 5 continents of the world plus Aus and NZ. Visited parts that most others haven’t e.g.\, North Korea\, Pakistan\, Eritrea\, Paraguay\, Syria & Ukraine. His talks use both his own photo material plus items from a photo collection and research from his own comprehensive specialised library.

SUMMARY:The John Wells Collection - Part 1 - 1952/ 1958 - Chris Berridge / Bryan Acford
DESCRIPTION:John Wells was born in 1935 and having been evacuated to Sandy\, Bedfordshire\, during the 2nd World War lived there for many years. After school he worked for a large insurance company so commuted daily to London\, often carrying his camera. He held a lineside permit and photographed widely on the southern section of the ECML as well as on sections of the GE\, Midland & LNW mainlines which were within easy travelling distance of his home. There are also visits to locations such as Tonbridge\, Basingstoke & Sonning as well as pictures taken on family holidays. The show is totally B&W and covers the period from his earliest photos until the end of 1958. It’s a reminder of the huge variety of locos\, including pre-grouping varieties\, which could still be seen in a day at that time by spending a day at the Lineside. John also enjoyed good relations with many local railway staff which assisted his endeavours and gave him advance notice of rare workings.

SUMMARY:European Misadventures\, by Michael Reade
DESCRIPTION:‘European Misadventures’\, by Michael Reade\, 2nd May 2023:  Michael was fortunate enough to have employment as an advertising sales manager for several trade and technical publications with European advertisers which necessitated regular visits to France\, Germany\, Switzerland\, Belgium\, Holland\, Denmark and Sweden commencing in the mid-sixties. Between appointments he was able to locate some final outposts of steam\, interspersed with now vintage tramcars.  Misadventures include ending up with his Ford Cortina in a tram depot and being followed around Rotterdam by two men with holstered pistols!  And\, of course\, the infamous incident of getting fairly inebriated with Herr Beck\, the Burgomaster of Bremen and then owner of Beck’s Brewery.  He still drinks Becks but nowadays only the non-alcoholic variant… \nThis is an indoor meeting\, doors open from 18:45\, commence 19:00
