Railway World Magazine - November 1983

Main features:

 

- Piccadilly Line Golden Jubilee - The Cockfosters extension of the Picadilly Line is now half a  century old, and, as Alan A.Jackson relates, it was a notable and skilful bid for traffic by the Underground Group and an achievement all round.

 

- Longsight Motive Power Depot - Roger Griffiths outlines the history of a Manchester depot that has served the area's railways for the past 140 years.

 

- Eastleigh and Locomotive design 2 - Dugald Drummond and R.W.Urie were both enigmatic personalities, and their abilities as managers cast an interesting light on Eastleigh's practices, as Eric L.Forge explains. 

 

- The Duchess of Hamilton - G.A.M.Wood sets out in full detail the excellent running on the main line achieved by LMS Pacific 46229 during 1982/3, on the Settle and Carlisle line and over the North and West Route.
