SUMMARY:Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City Branch Visit to Epping Signalling Museum
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity to visit the Epping Signalling Museum. \nThis museum opened a very short while before the start of the Covid-19 restrictions and has therefore only been going properly again for just over a year. Situated alongside live running Central Line trains on the approach to Epping station is this unique LONDON TRANSPORT signal cabin. It is the only Cabin on the entire Underground network in preservation and open to the public. It is this signal cabin and Locomotive L11 that together make up Epping Signalling Museum.  \nA Sunday afternoon visit (17th September) has been arranged. Car parking would be in the station car park at Epping (£6 for the day). Access to the museum is from the car park. Depending on numbers\, a larger group will be split so that all can get the most from the visit. The museum makes no admission charge but donations are very much welcomed. Tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided (without charge) during the visit! \nPlease let Dave Elsdon (Hitchin@rcts.org.uk ) know\, ASAP\, if you are interested. \nMembers from any RCTS branch are\, as usual\, most welcome to join this visit but must also contact Dave to book their place(s).

SUMMARY:The New Essex Lines of the GER
DESCRIPTION:Nathaniel has be interested in railways for all of his life. From early days of ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ he has been hooked on railways and their history. He became a station adopter at Battlesbridge station in 2003. His railway career started with National Express East Anglia as a train dispatcher at Southend Victoria – a period that included the hectic weeks of the 2012 Olympics involving 12 hour shifts. He is a volunteer at Mangapps Railway Museum\, one of the best parts of which is listening to stories of former BR staff who visit the site – probably the best kind of information source.  Since 2010 Nathaniel has been a member of the GER Society and actively helps in providing information for the Society’s publications. He is currently a Customer Service Assistant for TFL working at Stratford Underground station.

SUMMARY:Swindon Works - The Final Years
DESCRIPTION:When Harry Roberts was appointed as Swindon Works Manager in the early 1970’s many feared that this may be the end of Swindon Works.  However Harry was impressed with the capacity and skills available in the works\, and set about finding new work for the works to undertake.  This included building small cabin cruiser boats\, overhauling Bristol Buses\, and manufacture of cooling groups for Class 56 locos.  Swindon Works was awarded the contract for the refurbishment and rebuilding of the Kent Coast EMUs\, as well as maintenance work on DMUs\, and Class 03 and 08 diesel locos. During this time Harry also managed to increase the workforce from 2\,000 to over 4\,000 staff.  Swindon Works even built (under licence from Hunslet) 0-8-0 diesel hydraulic shunters for Kenya Railways.  Swindon Works finally closed in 1987 when Tarmac took over the site for redevelopment.  However some of the works buildings still remain today as part of the “Designer Outlet Village” and the Swindon Steam GWR Museum.
