Society Notice Board Editor’s Comments: I do hope you all generally approve of a 40 page magazine…unfortunately the cover title banner got a bit lost in background of trees, looked clearer on screen !! I also hope you like the professional distribution with the carrier sheet (address sheet). The fun part is filling the 40 pages and as I‘ve pleaded before, don’t be shy in coming forward with info and photos, it is great to feature more from you, the members and it is particularly pleasing that a high proportion of new members are so doing…come on you veterans, you must have something to share ? With the introduction of the new timetable on 5 th Sep yet more interesting workings are now available. The new Chiltern Railways mainline service from Marylebone – Birmingham Moor Street has been strengthened and coaches rebranded (see Revised Liveries). London Midland Trains now has use of Cl.172 DMUs and the new DLR connection between Canning Town and Stratford International is now in use. With the opening of the Westfield Shopping Centre, towering over Stratford, Southeastern also took the opportunity to operate 2 additional services an hour between St Pancras Int. and Ebbsfleet Int. to test its Olympic plans, hence the appropriate cover photo of a Javelin. As I write this, the bulk of the country is basking in a late heat wave and even up here it is quite warm, allowing the ‘estate’ to be mowed before I hit the road south again, which is where we will be when you read this. Those that do, I hope you are out making the most of it. We plan to call in on some preserved sites that not been visited before, so that should add more material to the increasing stockpile of future articles and photo spots. Hopefully I can also get up to London this time as so much has happened in the last few months that I’ve got withdrawal symptoms ! Haven’t even seen a Cl.379 yet, let alone a Cl.172 in any TOC livery.
