1 HISTORICAL FASTEST TIMES RPS railway performance society

2 HISTORICAL FASTEST TIMES Edition. Index: There is insufficient space to repeat all records annually. For records by diesel & electric locomotives, it is aimed to cover each major route at least every 4 to 5 years. Other routes will be covered less frequently. Steam sections and some special features may not be updated regularly. However, it is hoped that eventually, all historical fastest times may become available on the RPS website. This list includes all routes / sections for which Historical Fastest Times has been published in this issue, or previously. A page number on the left indicates that the section appears in this issue. For sections which are not included here, the year of publication is shown in brackets ( = No table yet produced).

This Historical FT Supplement covers records held by motive power that is no longer the principal type of traction on the specified routes. Any route, open or closed, and any train, express or all-stations, is acceptable for inclusion, although most minor routes may appear only very occasionally in the printed version of HFT. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS. (1). Qualifying sections will be as defined in the Annual Fastest Times Supplement. 4

5 (2) All records must have been obtained on trains available to normal fare-paying passengers, including relief trains advertised in supplements, or by station announcements, or trains diverted due to engineering work. Note - some BR-organised advertised excursions (ADEX) were available for use by ordinary ticket holders and times by such trains will be considered for acceptance provided they comply with guideline no. 1. (3).With the exception of the "experimental / prototype locomotives" and "preserved steam" sections, times from mystery excursions, privately chartered trains (including railtours) and special record attempts are not normally included.. (4) Where more than route has existed between two stations, separate record times are requested for each alternative route. Thus, for example, between Sheffield and Leeds, separate records for all the current and past regular routes are to be included. (5). Double-headed diesel trains. Except for lower-powered diesel locomotives (typically classes 31 and below), records by double-headers will usually be shown as separate entries, if they beat the fastest time by a single locomotive This enables the tables to show the fastest times by typical motive power on each route. Except on the ECML, Deltic records will usually be shown as separate entries, if they beat times by the once-normal motive power on each route. (6) Load consists of the total number of vehicles, including locomotives. For steam tender locomotives, the locomotive and tender are counted as a single vehicle. Note that for many entries inherited from the Deltic FT table, and for some entries derived from Lee Allsopp s database, the load is shown as the trailing load in tons. For ease of compilation, the steam section has mainly been sub-divided according to the pre-1948 railway company, followed by the post-1948 region & finally by the pre-1923 ownership, and largely reflects the service operating patterns in the steam era. If you can fill any gaps, beat any records, spot any errors or offer additional routes for inclusion in the future Historical FT Supplements, please send them to the compiler by at the postal or address in Milepost. However, please send all logs to Lee Allsopp for inclusion in the logs database. Note that the mileage shown on the left-hand side of the tables applies to both directions of travel, unless a different mileage is printed on the right-hand side of the station name.
