SUMMARY:Yes\, it Was 40 Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:In a Sequel to “Was it Really 40 Years Ago?”\, David Allen continues his Black & White photographic journey. \nBesides following the calendar through 1982\, the West Country and South Wales will be looked at specifically. Reflecting the fact that he has lived in Durham since 1970\, there will be a number of shots showing the North East of England. This will include a specific look at the ‘Last Years of Consett’. His large collection of views from the North West reflects frequent visits to his parents who lived on Merseyside. And much\, much more as they say! \nFor this virtual event there is a suggested donation of £2. If you wish to contribute just follow the National Meetings link below. \nTo receive information on coming National (and other) Zoom meetings\, please join the RCTS National Zoom E-mail List (RCTS-National@groups.io) by visiting https://groups.io/g/RCTS-National \, or by e-mail.

SUMMARY:Great Train Robbery 1963
DESCRIPTION:Ian’s talk on the robbery is the result of years of research and fact finding together with his personal goal being\, how on earth do you stop a express train doing 95 miles per hour in the middle of nowhere and drive it yourself ??  Ian brings a 1960’s colour light signal with him to demonstrate how it was rigged to stop the train. \nThe talk isn’t about glorifying the robbers\, it’s about the British Rail staff and police too and stories behind their experience.\nThis year of course is the 60th anniversary of the robbery which makes it even more interesting !

SUMMARY:Railway Engineering; A Driver's Eye View
DESCRIPTION:Andy Grimmett started on the railway at Stratford MPD in Sept 1974. By 1979 he had qualified as a driver and progressed through the links driving a large variety of traction. With the partial closure of Stratford Depot in Jan 1994\, he decided to move with 13 other drivers to Ilford Car Sheds where he stayed until retirement in 2022. More often than not\, Andy had his camera with him and was able to capture images that could only be attained by fellow railway employees. The engineering of the railway including many aspects of the infrastructure have been recorded by Andy\, and a selection of these photos will be seen in this presentation\, with some 1960’s views also included.
