Dictionary.aspx?q=MTR The "M-Stock" (or CM-Stock") of "M-Train" are the oldest trains on the MTR, built originally by Metro Cammell and refurbished by United Goninan. These doors prevent people from falling onto the rails; and have the additional benefit of separating the stations from the tunnels, hence allowing substantial energy savings on station air-conditioning and tunnel ventilation. Unlike many other metro systems around the world, "main line" MTR stations do not have toilet facilities (although their installation has been contemplated). www.homestayfinder.com /Dictionary.aspx?q=MTR   (4868 words)

A brief history of the Metropolitan Railway Carriage and Wagon Company Ltd 1845-1945 In the same year Cammell Laird and Co Ltd of Sheffield and Birkenhead commenced the manufacture of railway rolling stock at the National Ordinance Factory at Nottingham which they had managed during the Great War on behalf of the government and which they shortly afterwards purchased.

Many coaches and diesel multiple units were supplied to British Railways during the late 1950s and the Pullman Fleet which included the Blue trains were completed during 1959/60. metcam.co.uk.nstempintl.com /history.htm   (1950 words)

Blackpool, U.K., Trams It has special fondness among the traction faithful in the United Kingdom because it was the last of the traditional tramways--and their double-decker trolleys--to maintain service as other British cities quit their streetcar services up into the early 1960s. At the same time, it carries on the tradition even as brand-new light-rail systems are sprouting up all across England, marking the return of electric traction to surface transport with a vengeance. world.nycsubway.org /eu/uk/blackpool.html   (943 words)

Newcastle Tyne & Wear Metro Best described as a rapid transit rail system, the Metro serves the area in a way that the former heavy rail system could not. Electrification by way of 1500v DC overhead equipment was chosen and rolling stock purchased from Metro Cammell (now Alstom). The Metro was opened in stages between 1980 and 1984 and provided Tyne and Wear with its very own metro system. world.nycsubway.org /eu/uk/newcastle.html   (543 words)

Projects I have worked on These were the first microprocessor controlled rail vehicles I'd worked on, and another first was that we had to design a streetcar controller (pedals, rather like a car!). These were DC Choppers for the Toronto Advanced Light Rail Vehicle (ALRV) and the H6 subway cars. It was exciting being involved as Control engineer in the overall design of the control system, we had several meetings with the Canadians at Brush with a one week visit to Canada. www.geocities.com /garrybrookes/id6.htm   (4886 words)

THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE AND FRIENDS FACTS AND INFORMATION In 1998, Starr narrated half of the second season in the British version; in 1991, he narrated the first season and the second season in the series to pursue his musical career. Angelis continues to narrate the British series as narrator today; he wasn't mentioned in the credits in the fifth season of the British series. This engine was acquired as a shunter by the railway society, and its blue livery meant that it was quickly nicknamed 'Thomas'. www.beatlesfacts.com /Thomas_the_Tank_Engine_and_Friends   (2235 words)

Daisy The British Rail Class 101 diesel multiple unit was built by Metro-Cammell at Birmingham 1956 to 1959, following construction of a series of prototype units.

My Curriculum Vitae Reorganisation in the run-up to privatisation made the post redundant, and I rejoined Metro-Cammell rather than to stay at British Rail in other roles.

I worked on the project to supply Class 465 and 466 Networker vehicles for British Rail from 1990 to 1995. www.geocities.com /garrybrookes/id2.htm   (1285 words)
