SUMMARY:"Railways to the Coast" by Tony Kirby
DESCRIPTION:The earliest railways to the coast were built for freight rather than passenger traffic but companies soon realised there was a potentially lucrative passenger market.  This talk examines both aspects from the 1840s to the present day.  Freight by rail has vanished from some once important ports eg Wisbech whilst others eg Felixstowe originate heavy flows.  Likewise the development of holiday and excursion traffic is illustrated with the GWR’s promotion of Cornwall and the NER’s of Scarborough through to a zenith in the 1950’s and then subsequent decline.

SUMMARY:The Last Four Years of Steam
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by George Howe. \nAn introduction by George: \n1964 saw me making a change from black and white prints\, to colour slides. This just happened to be four years before the end of steam on British Railways\, hence the title\, The last 4 years of Steam. I travelled the British Isles to many areas where steam was still well in evidence. I travelled by train quite often\, to most of the country where steam was on the decline\, but some trips were by Vespa 150cc scooter. The trips\, by whatever mode\, mostly included many loco shed visits\, very handy by scooter.\n As steam was nearing the end it was mostly in the North West of England – Crewe\, Manchester\, Liverpool\, Preston areas. The Scooter also had a ride then\, quite often on the 05:26 from Bedford to Manchester Central\, visiting several sheds\, and back on the 17:30 from Preston alighting at Bletchley at 20:13\, and back home on the scooter.\nWonderful days; come along to see what I saw.  \nDoors open 19:00.

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).
