British Rail’s Southern Region
Inspector’s Returns
Coaching Stock including Diesel & Electric units
(1959–1965)

 

Condemned 4 SUB at Hove in May 1963
© Ian Nolan

 

This file contains summaries of some weekly returns submitted by Rolling Stock Inspectors regarding condemned coaching stock and the disposal of such to breakers. I have added x ‘Set xxx’ information and this applies to any coaches in that line of text to the right. ‘Loose’ coaches have no further information shown. There are also items of correspondence regarding other issues such as transfers of vehicles to departmental stock etc.

Some entries for 1960 are missing.

Where information has been added for clarity by BloodandCustard this is shewn in a different font and titles not unlined.

Abbreviations

There is a certain amount of abbreviations and internal jargon, but most of it is fairly understandable in the context.

Some frequently used ones are such as V – 3-60 (vehicle last varnished in March 1960), CI (cast iron) brake blocks (NF is non-ferrous a-lso known as TBL blocks), E, H or Heavy (next classified repair due on the vehicle) [this was before the later BR system of C1, C2, C4, C5, C6 etc].

SP dates (also S Proposal) were the Inspector’s proposed dates for the units to go into works.

Several Inspectors used abbreviations such as M.S.B. for Motor Brake Second. In the interests of clarity and modern computer searches these have been amended to the current convention (MBS etc).

There are others such as GD (former Guildford & Dorking) stock, ‘Contractor’ stock (refers to former contractor-built units, the GD stock nos.1285 – 1310 (later nos.4300 – 4325) on shorter underframes and nos.1496 – 1524 (later nos.4325 – 4350), as these units had a lot of detail differences to the bulk of the SUB fleet.

There are some references to changing buffers on suburban units when reforms were needed, the standard arrangement being both MBS coaches were ‘female’, the original centre trailer ‘male’ at both ends, and the augmenting vehicle as ‘female’ one end, and ‘male’ the other.

Letters & Numbering

There are frequent references to the conventions of numbering /lettering various items on a vehicle to identify them. Bogies were A + B (driver over the A bogie) with the adjacent trailer being B + A, so a 4-car sets had bogies arranged ABBAABBA. (was different on 3-car sets of course ABBABA).

Wheels were numbered round a coach with No.1 wheel under the offside of the cab, then No.2 behind on that bogie, No.3 wheel was the leading one on the next bogie followed by No.4, then No.5 wheel was opposite, then nos.6 – 8. The driver sat over No. 8 wheel and the axles were therefore 1 & 8 pair, 2 & 7 pair, 3 & 6 pair and 4 & 5 pair. Trailers had similar arrangements, a small white downward pointing arrow low down on the bodyside pointed at No. 1 wheel.

Doors were lettered so an 8-bay suburban motor coach had A – H (A at the brakevan end) and 10 compartment trailers were A – K (as I was not used).

Lights & Lamps

Windows are described usually as ‘lights’ so there were door droplights, ¼ lights, large sidelights (usually shown as L/S/L), fixed vent lights, sliding vent lights etc.

The driver’s window was the driver’s observation light.

Light bulbs were called ‘lamps’.

 

 

 

 

BloodandCustard hopes these notes help to explain this file and make understanding the notes easier. If we have got anything wrong, please let us know!

More importantly BloodandCustard is deeply grateful to two people in respect of these notes:

Glen Woods for allowing John Atkinson to borrow these notebooks which are lodged with the Bluebell Railway Archives.

Glen is similarly working on many other documents too and is the author behind that excellent book ‘Lancing 1956’ (St Petroc InfoPublishing - ISBN 978 0956 7655 29).

John Atkinson for painstakingly copying out these notebooks; his intention being to (hopefully) make this information more easily available to many.

 

Finally, if anyone can add to this subject, we would be most grateful. In addition, there is much discussion on John Atkinson’s Blood and Custard Discussion Group on Facebook.

Displacement of Steam Coaching Stock.

 

Your letter of the 1st May 1961

  The 17 vehicles formed in 4-4 coach “E” sets , plus one odd BSK, to Route Restriction 1, have been inspected, they are in reasonable condition, both interior, exterior, the corridor side building rails in some instances are a little puffy in the centre of the vehicles, particularly below the droplights in the dummy doors, but they should not cause any undue concern for the remainder of their extended and expected life, and should take another intermediate repair in 1962 if so desired.

  The 17 vehicles to be withdrawn to offset these mentioned above have not all been found, I give below the numbers of the vehicles seen and reason for their withdrawal subject to your approval.

1.         No. 1198, withdrawn, broken up @ Newhaven.

Below for your confirmation please.

BSK No. 4092 of 453 Set is in very bad condition, and I suggest BSK 4082 P7-56, V4-58 on this A list be retained and the former withdrawn. (Note – A Putnam agrees).

(later addendum to memo ‘break up’).

BSK 4089 of 182 Set damaged at Eastbourne 9-5-61 not on condemnation, I suggest BSK 4066 P10-55, V2-60 on the A list be retained and the former withdrawn. (Note – A Putnam agrees).

(later addendum to memo ‘break up’).

BCK 6578       ‘A’       BSA gangway torn off and body framing broken away, repairs would be costly. It is on the condemnation list B, to be transferred to column A and withdrawn. (A Putnam agrees).

                        To carry out repair will mean removal of body, the general condition is rather low as the

The canvas covered roof is in reasonably good condition, the body panels are reasonably good and the decolite flor in good order. The underframe headstocks are thin and bent behind the buffers and the bogies are fairly good. It will, or course require lifting and painting inside and out. The gangway diaphragms are perished but the frames and scissors are fairly sound. All the cells and dynamo are intact and appear in good condition. The main steam and vacuum pipes require testing, the lagging from the former is adrift in places.

Memo to Inspector Tozer

WORK STUDY ACCOMMODATION

 

  With reference to your letter of 1st November, I note that M.P. Breakdown Van No. DS 1595 has been taken over by a work study group, but in view of the fact that I have only this week been strongly pressed by the Accountant to dispose of all displacements as quickly as possible, there appears to be no alternative but to ask the people at present using the van to vacate it.

  Will you kindly follow up on these lines and let me know the result.

 

 

Inspector Tozer’s reply

Ref: -   RS.51/1/7/D

 

WORK STUDY ACCOMMODATION

 

  Referring to your letter of the 9th instant, I have seen Mr White who is in charge of the work study group at Hither Green and informed him that he must vacate the van No. DS 1595 ex Motive Power Staff Van. He regrets having to vacate it because although realising he had no right to take the van he must ask for a Work Study Coach to be made available at Hither Green and in the meantime would like permission to retain this van.

  I might mention they have fitted the van with light and running water etc. It is in reasonable condition and I recommend it be transferred to this group rather than incur the unnecessary expense of a further conversion.

MOBILE OFFICE ACCOMMODATION FOR WORK STUDY TEAMS

  The South West Line Manager requires an open type coach at Richmond for Work Study purposes. It will be necessary for the vehicle to be fitted with electric lighting and power points for three electric heaters, together with padlocks for the doors and as it will move from point to point over approximately three years I would like you to call a meeting with Mr. Taylor’s representative and also Mr. Keeling to determine exactly what is required and where the coach will be stationed from time to time, this latter being vitally necessary in regard to power supplies, which the Outdoor Machinery Section will be expected to provide.

  Will you please, therefore, proceed on these lines and let me have, in due course, an estimated cost of the repairs and conversion, whilst in regard to the facilities to be provided by the Outdoor Machinery Section, I am asking Mr. Hoare to let me have this information.

  Mr. Tozer will earmark a suitable vehicle and so far as traffic representation at the meeting is concerned contact should be made with Waterloo Extension 2681/2.

  With reference to the reduction of passenger carrying vehicles by 123 a number were withdrawn and submitted to Eastleigh RSO in the usual manner but due to the adverse weather conditions an offer by the TM Office to curtail withdrawal for the time being and a return to traffic of those withdrawn. I am assuming that all vehicles (passenger carrying) withdrawn prior to 14th instant to have been returned to traffic.

  In regard to all cars sent to you, in addition to the Propane Gas equipment you may think it desirable to also recover the Stills boilers for re-use but no stripping other than this should be carried out to Nos. 7939 and 7954 as the interior lay-out may prove ideally suitable for static mess rooms.

  With reference to your conversation with Mr. Double last week; BSKs 2787, 3737, BCKs 6577 and 6588 have, as requested, today been placed in your works for breaking up.

  Will you kindly arrange for the bodies and underframes to be cut up, recovering any useable details and also bogies, and if possible the body panels should be fired as I am given to understand that scrap material without any paint etc. on it can more easily be disposed of.

  Kindly ensure that all details of the breaking up are recorded on future C.S.R.3 returns.

3 Set No. 810 – Leaky roofs

  Contractor built Set No. 810 built 1948, last General Repair 4-58, v9-60, last v 10-62 carded from Bournemouth to Clapham Junction for leaky roofs throughout. I have inspected the set and agree the roof canvas is porous, there are numerous cracks in the paint allowing the rain to soak into the canvas and there are several canvas patches. I feel sure this set has been involved in some heavy shunting quite recently, there are tell-tale cracks in the paint between the ceilings and partitions, some sliding door lock catches adrift and the brake end headstocks are slightly bent behind the buffers.

  Apart from the bad roof the set is in reasonably good condition , I can only recommend roof re-cover and intermediate repair now.

MAINTENANCE OF STEAM COACHING STOCK

 

  With reference to my representative’s conversation with Messrs. Levett and Elgar on 26th June; Set No. 810 has been taken out of service due to leaky roofs and on examination the canvas is found to be porous and cracked, leading one to believe that it has been involved in a heavy impact as the paint work has also cracked between to ceilings and partitions, some sliding door catches are adrift and the brake end headstocks are slightly bent.

  It is essential this set be returned to service as quickly as possible and although not due for maintenance repair, I shall be glad if you will accept and give it an intermediate repair with roof recover.

Memo from: - Mech. & Elec. Engineer (General) Eastleigh

 

MESSRS. BERTRAM MILLS CIRCUS

 

  I am advised by the General Manager that the proprietors of Messrs Bertram Mills Circus do not propose to arrange a tour train for next year and in consequence the passenger vehicles allocated to this traffic, i.e. SK’s Nos. 1808, 1822, 1878, 1901 1904 and 1914 may be withdrawn after termination of the existing tour at Ascot which I understand was yesterday.

 

  In regard to SK No. 1914 I am advised that this vehicle was stopped on the London Midland Region and I have requested Mr. Robson to arrange condemnation and disposal.

 

  Will Mr. Tozer please advise me in the usual way so that I can obtain disposal for the remainder through the Scrap Sales Controller.

 

 

11-11-64

Messrs. Bertram Mills Circus

 

  I understand that the six coaches allocated to the above mentioned circus traffic are now no longer required for that purpose. The numbers are SK’s 1808, 1822, 1878, 1901 and 1904 now berthed at Ascot, and 1914 is detained by the London Midland Region under card for defects and they will dispose of it. Will you please have the five at Ascot marked with the withdrawal symbol and advise this office as soon as you have done so. Thanking you in anticipation.

CONDEMNED CARRIAGES

 

  Mr Shepherd has drawn attention to the number of condemned coaches still awaiting despatch for breaking-up and I shall be glad if you will please let me know what arrangements are at present in force for disposal of those which have been sold.

Condemned Carriages

With reference to your letter of 7th instant.

 

Having received authority and withdrawn a vehicle, the nearest depot is told to put the withdrawn symbol on, all cards are removed, the General Manager’s RS Office advised and the vehicles then become the responsibility of the Operating Department. A weekly return is made from this office to RSO Eastleigh who in turn make a return to the Scrap Sales Managers who then make sales and sends details to RSO Eastleigh. Eastleigh then informs the GM’s and this office of the various sales orders giving disposal destinations. From then on, this office cooperates with marshalling the stock and advising the respective Line Managers.
