Any help

righty, t/op 92. Lets tell you-

1. incomplete answer - answered bit - not in my edition (check on my previous post for exact details)

2. Correct

3. Correct

4. Correct - Although actually I was referring to " Park Surrey september" (not clear questioning can´t expect a clear answering)

V125 - Correct. (Although I´m quite sure that it was in fact the old unrefurbed livery, just with blue doors)

Although, If I am incorrect, the V125 question would go to Alexh.

Anyone bring up the [glow=red,2,300]exact[/glow] answer to no. 1?

So does your edition have [glow=red,2,300]any[/glow] pics of King William Street, because you still haven´t answered the other bit of the question ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D (to do with photographs).

On behalf of the opening sentence, does anyone have my edition so I can mark It right ?

It appears that problems in public communication regarding a lack of service are nothing new. The opening of the line had been delayed on numerous occasions. One of the first delays was caused by the fact that the Stockwell terminus was isolated from the rest of the line due to the fact that Greathead had hit some unexpectedly bad ground and had to develop the technology to push a tunnel through it.
When the directors finally guessed on a date that everything would be completed, they booked HRH. As the time approached, it was obvious that they still had major problems with the locomotives. The armatures on the locos kept burning out and Mather & Platt were having trouble coming up with a solution. With benefit of hindsight it is easy to see that the fault was in the windings, but it was not obvious at the time. As these were the first true electric locomotives anywhere in the world, there was virtually no previous experiences to draw on.
As the time approached for the 'opening', it was a case of either asking a Royal to postpone (and risk being sent to the Tower) or going ahead and calling it an 'official opening'. In the event, the company chose the latter course of action.
It took more than six weeks after the Royal visit before it was felt that a public service could be attempted, and even then it was a little premature.
As the months passed, the armatures continued to cause a problem so the C&SLR quietly called in a specialist from Siemens (the company who was originally expected to provide the electrical equipment for the line) and he seems to have come up with a solution that was fed back through the railway company's own electrical engineer.
There were therefore no technical problems, it was actually one single design problem that eventually held things up. Having said this, there was another non-technical matter that prevented a public service starting on 5 November. To save money, the company did not employ the full compliment of staff to drive and man the locomotives at the time of the official opening - so it could not have run a public service anyway!
