Bill Donald 2015 Presentations in Newcastle

Post by billdonald »

Once again it's that time of year where I'm happy to announce two presentations - one on the Tyneside Electrified Area, the other celebrating the centenary of the NER's Shildon - Newport electrification..

The first is at the Stephenson Locomotive Society, Newcastle Branch at 19:00 Friday 6th February 2015. My presentation will be "The Shildon - Newport Electrification, a triumph and failure".

The second presentation is at the RCTS Newcastle Branch at 18:00 Thursday 12th February 2015. This presentation is the third and final part dealing with the Tyneside electrified lines. This one covers the period from nationalisation to de-electrification in 1967.

I would suggest getting the venies early - in previous years the doors were closed early!

Further details can be found on the respective web sites.
