SUMMARY:Overhead Line Electrification
DESCRIPTION:Peter Dearman\, Dearman Engineering & PWI Deputy President\nLancaster\, Barrow and Carlisle Section meeting\nMeeting in-person from 16:00 for a 16:30 start \nSynopsis: Peter Dearman\, who has been involved with railway electrification in the UK throughout his career\, explains the place of railway electrification in the context of the 21st Century. From the starting point of a historical review of both overhead and conductor rail systems he goes on to review the delivery of schemes proposed in the 1955 Modernisation Plan (including West Coast Main Line) and 1977 Electrification Plan (including East Coast Main Line)\, before focusing on the current progress of Network Rail’s own 2010 National Electrification Plan. \nThere is a particular focus on Network Rail’s response to climate change\, which takes the form of the Traction Decarbonisation Network Strategy. This proposes a near doubling of total electrified route mileage in the UK\, and the associated costs of the strategy are examined. \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE

SUMMARY:Railways of Namibia: A Comparison with Network Rail
DESCRIPTION:Phil Kirkland\, PWI Vice President\, North of England\nLancaster\, Barrow & Carlisle Section meeting\nMeeting in-person from 16:00 for a 16:30 start. \nSynopsis: In the first part of this presentation Phil Kirkland will look at the PWI as a professional body and outline its structure and function\, together with the individuals involved. He will also look at what it can offer the railway engineering community. \nThe second part of the presentation will look at the railways in Namibia\, comparing and contrasting the activities and standards in operation with those of Network Rail – with a particular focus on safety. TransNamib operates a route network of 2\,883 km in South West Africa at the track gauge of 3 feet 6 inches (1\,067 mm)\, which has recently been augmented through the construction of the Northern Extension. While the focus is primarily on freight services\, passenger services are also operated\, including the luxury train services ‘Desert Express’ and ‘Rovos Rail’. \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE
