CHM Cheltenham

Unfortunately our planned presenter for Thursday 15th December, Malcolm Garner, is not able to travel to Cheltenham. We will, instead have an impromptu members entertain evening with our Branch Chairman and Treasurer providing some images. Treasurer has a few presentations on the laptop, so there could be a choice of what to see! We hope…

Lee Davies is a driver for Cross Country Trains. Tonight we have his view of three decades of change, from his time in the cab - from cl.47s to High Speed Trains to Voyagers, over a variety of routes. Each type has very different characteristics and requires a very different driving style.

The City of Gloucester and indeed the wider county has been involved in railway development since the very early days. For our presentation Tony Condor looks at the development of railways in our home area.

Our Branch Annual Business meeting with election of the committee. We will try to keep this formal business bit brief so we can get on with the more interesting part of viewing transport related images of what our members have been up to in recent times.  

An, at the time recently installed, automatic barrier level crossing was the location of a collision between a road transporter and a train. What actually happened? What were the lessons learned? Come and find out from Malcolm Garner who has studied the incident and the subsequent enquiry reports.
