il y a belle lurette que les jean 's ne passent plus pour des tenues négligées , il est même de bon ton pour les gens qui se croient de la "haute " de les porter déchirés .
Pour moi une tenue correcte est une tenue propre et décente .

‍Welcome to the August issue of the e-newsletter

We are proud to be part of the collaborative national heritage railways' initiative this summer! Image: Alan Crotty
‍From the Chair...

As I write this, we are very nearly at the end of the summer period of continuous running. It has, to say the least, been challenging. August is always difficult, but this has been something else. Not only have we been coping with the effects of Covid on all our rosters, but the steam engine we had booked to bolster our own locomotive fleet was, at the last minute, required by its home railway to cover their own needs. We kept going, filled a lot of the trains, and greatly improved our bottom line. And this will boost our resilience for the future.

There is one thing I want to say this month, and that is THANK YOU to all those who have kept the show on the road this summer.

To those who have marketed our services and managed the online bookings while at the same time getting to grips with the changes to our IT.
To the roster clerks whose job is never easy but who, over the past month or so, have been going above and beyond to ensure that all the important customer-facing and operating roles were covered.
To the locomotive department who responded to the challenge of getting the most out of our home fleet without the additional insurance that had been planned.
To those who ensured that the DMMU and the carriage fleet were available for service.
To those who responded at short notice to get us out of trouble when a diesel driver was required.
To those who kept our catering operating.



Our customer reviews frequently mention the friendliness of our staff.
‍We have been particularly tight in a number of roles, and I know that there are many individuals who have given more of their time than they would usually do. They know who they are, and we are grateful.

I have mentioned just a few above, but there are many others who merit our thanks too.

All the normal work has been continuing while the trains have been running and we have been welcoming visitors. To quote just a few examples, and please don’t feel offended if I have left something out: the glamping coach is nearing completion at Bodiam; much has been going on the in Permanent Way and forestry and clearance worlds; and the Tuesday and Wednesday Groups and others have been working hard to keep our sites tidy and in good order. I could go on.

We will have a brief respite over the autumn, and then the Santa season will be upon us.

You will find a report on the June Board meeting elsewhere in this issue. The busy-ness of 2021 shows no signs of abating – nor does the list of challenges – but we are planning for the future with confidence.

Chairman

‍Finance
‍Thanks to the efforts of our fundraisers, all those who have run the trains during a difficult summer season, and those who have managed the Railway during the pandemic, as well as the generosity of individuals, our finances are as healthy as we could have dared to hope.

But we must be prudent. There may be further Covid restrictions impacting on our ability to raise revenue and to honour paid-for advance bookings, and in that event Government support cannot be expected to match that available during 2020 and early 2021. We will always need more money than we have.

We have invested wisely over the last year, prioritising our spend with a view to knocking off lots of small “just jobs”, as well as finding monies for the bigger ticket items such as;

The Kitchen Car,
Materials for Loco 22 (USA 65),
Upgraded the water supply at Bodiam,
We finished the refurbishment of one of the Terriers, with the other being worked on now,
Installation of the Camping Carriage at Bodiam - and upgraded the sewage treatment there and,
A new Permanent Way Telehandler.

The Project Assessment Committee will make proposals for further investment to ensure that we thrive in the future.

There are many challenges ahead and we must ensure that we have the financial resilience to meet them.

‍From the Boardroom
The board of trustees had its monthly meeting on Saturday 31st July. We met in the function room of the White Lion in Tenterden High Street. Apologies were received from Matt Hyner.

The e-newsletter provides an opportunity to give a brief flavour of some of the most important points. It should not in any sense be regarded as a formal record.

We noted with thanks the measures in place to ensure that all the critical operating and public-facing roles were filled during the daily running part of the season. We were not alone in facing a volunteer shortage. Owing in large part of the work of the Volunteering Committee the future pipeline was reasonably healthy but there is always room for improvement in the way in which we recruit, develop and retained new volunteers.

We noted that our hospitality offer for 2021 was very much on a “mark time” basis and that new arrangements would need to be in place for the start of the 2022 season.

We noted that the Railway’s finances were as good as could reasonably be expected in all the circumstances, but there was no room for complacency and we would have to be able to stand on our own going forward. Hopefully there would be no further lockdowns, but Covid and its effects could be expected to be around for a long time yet.

We noted a report from the Safety Director together with progress towards the issue of the new Safety Management System and the supporting documentation which would clarify lines of responsibility for all safety-related issues.

We formally endorsed a new Risk Management Policy for the K&ESR, and we noted that as ever the real challenge would be in its implementation. We agreed that the Policy should be published.

We reviewed progress towards the five-year strategy. Much had been achieved, but there needed to be more focus on getting the achievements fully embedded and better communicated. The theme for the remainder of 2021 should be consolidation and finishing what had been started. We agreed that the progress review should be published.

We agreed that the K&ESR should register with the Fundraising Regulator and that their logo should appear as appropriate on our material.

We noted that the Kitchen Car was shortly to arrive back on the Railway and that the challenge now was to fit it out in time for the 2022 season. We owed many thanks to Dave Raimbach for his work in getting the project to this point.

We agreed to consider how to get the most out of the two Terriers as roving ambassadors for the Railway, while at the same time ensuring that we ourselves had sufficient use out of them.

In a resumed discussion of fundraising and project management going forward we felt that while further work needed to be done there was scope for one major flagship appeal and several smaller ones going forward. It would be important to ensure the managers were fully consulted before final decisions were made.

Now that the Certificate of Lawfulness for Field 51 at Rolvenden had been obtained we were able to start detailed planning for the work. This was a major project with strategic implications and it would be important to get the governance and management right. We agreed that this should be a specific agenda item at the beginning of the August Board meeting.

We noted with sadness the passing of member Carol Douglas, and we offered condolences to her family and close friends.

The next scheduled meeting would be on Saturday 28th August.

Simon Marsh
Chairman


Another beautiful morning at Tenterden. August 2021.
From the General Manager
A Busy August?

August is always one of the busiest and most challenging months on the railway. A month where the number of operating days increases from 5 to 7 days per week with 5 trips per day as the norm. A month where the passenger profile is “the family market”. A month where nigh on 1,000 volunteer turns are required to maintain the operating and customer facing roles, and that excludes the hard working volunteers behind the scenes working in Loco and Carriage et Wagon, Permanent Way, Forestry, S&TE and Infrastructure. All in all a very busy month and a challenge in all departments.

This year the challenge was heightened by that well used word “Covid”. For those volunteers returning it was about safety, refresher training, regaining competencies and it was good to see so many familiar faces again. For some though it was still too soon to return, and we hope that it will be just a question of time before those who have stayed away, will join us again. In exactly the same way, we welcome those new volunteers who have recently joined us and we look forward to seeing you in your new roles. The railway family never stays still, it is always changing, in exactly the same way as what we do, and how we do it, continues to evolve.

What has really stood out this year is the flexibility and commitment of volunteers and paid staff in every department, working collectively as a team to ensure that we deliver to our customers. A month ago only 55% of August turns were filled, now at the time of writing we are very close to 100%. This August we will operate 155 ordinary trips, in addition to our premium weekend Pullman services, and the popular midweek Fish and Chip trains.

It's behind you! Photo: Shaun Dewey
‍In light of the uncertainties around Covid we decided to keep this years operation as simple as possible. Simple it may be but this has opened the door to many new initiatives. The kids activity sheets have been very well received as has the Junior Engineer Program which has generated as much enthusiasm and creativity by those presenting as with those attending. There have been some amazing presentations, so much so that more dates are now in the pipeline.
‍Overall I expect we will carry near to 12,000 round trip passengers in August, despite some very unusual weather. This will be very close to the August 2019 carryings which will be an excellent result.

To each and everyone of our team who have collectively delivered, thank you and well done, I salute you.

Shaun Dewey
General Manager
On-Track Machines

Tramm in the shed Photo: Jamie Douglas
It’s been a busy period among the On Track Machines with work progressing on 3 of the 4 large machines. Work has been ongoing in the diesel road in the maintenance shed at Tenterden on the tractor unit for the TRAMM. Mike and Jon, with valuable assistance from one or two others, have made a fantastic job of the body repairs to the cab and engine bay, including repainting into plant yellow. The tractor unit has now been moved down to Rolvenden to be reunited with the trailer, and for the major maintenance and exam to be completed.
The ballast regulator has been out of use for some time owing to an engine problem. This was identified as an issue with the diesel injectors, and the owner has paid for a set of service exchange injectors, which we fitted by a service engineer from Cummins in June. Since then the engine bay, having been repainted by the 4253 team, has been refitted and the machine has been put over the disposal pit in the loco yard for a day for greasing and inspection of the brakes and drive shafts, as well as replacement of some oils and filters etc.
The 07 tamper has seen a pretty significant amount of use this year, working through the list produced by Brian Richards which highlights where our track needs attention.

We also managed at very short notice, a brief visit to the Avon Valley Railway near Bristol to do a days tamping for them!

Mill Ditch at night. Photo: Jamie Douglas
‍Whilst carrying out the recent 6 monthly maintenance, we reviewed the tamping action counter numbers for the past year. Since the 18th September last year, the machine has achieved very nearly 9000 tamping cycles (tamping tools inserted into the ballast). Based on an average sleeper spacing of 0.7m and allowing for a small amount of double tamping (where the tools are inserted twice per sleeper when site conditions require), this equates to something like 6000m of track tamped in the last year!

There is still plenty of work to do around our railway with this machine, however the engine in this machine is now getting tired, and will need replacing with a spare engine we have stored in a container at Rolvenden – plans are currently being worked up to carry out the engine change in conjunction with the next major maintenance which will fall due early next year, and at the same time carry out remaining body repairs to the rear cab, intermediate roof sections and engine bay doors, so that they look as good as the front cab – the works to which were completed nearly 2 years ago! However we also need to complete the 24m maintenance and commissioning tasks on the newer 08 tamper before we commit to this package of works, in order that we have the 08 tamper available for use while the 07 is being repaired.

‍The main focus of C&W this month has again been Compartment Mk1 CK86. The Windows are going in nicely, and the last of the new roof panels are being welded in. Our Carpenters Julian and Paddy have been working on the wooden skirting for the corridor; just two members of our volunteer team we would be totally lost without.

Birdcage bogie being inspected Photo: Peter Blythe
‍Our lovely SECR Birdcage had to be removed from traffic when inspected earlier in the year, due to a" bent bottom spring plank" to those of us that speak carriage. In easier terms the bogie's have 2 floating beams in the centre with (in this case) 4 springs sandwiched in between, that provide the secondary suspension - the primary suspension being the spring on each wheel. They were 111 years old and one had started to bend so we felt it was prudent to replace both, with rolled and fabricated replacements. You can see the Robertsbridge end bogie being re-assembled in the photo, and one of the new plank's in position.
‍James Palk and Richard Stone of the wagon group have started to remove all the rotten timber from Permanent Way's SR Ling wagon. By the time they had finished there was no timber left!

The Family saloon has now had all of its paint removed ready for some body repairs and its resin coat, and David Brailsford has fixed the toilet and bathroom plumbing.

‍Junior Engineering Experiences
You’re never too young to learn - especially if the subject’s something as exciting as steam trains!

This year we have trialled Junior Engineering Experiences for children, and the first groups, whose ages ranged from five to 11, were hugely enthusiastic.
We are running these experiences in partnership with Chris Vine, author of the popular ‘Peter’s Railway’ series.

Children accompanied by their "responsible adult" spent half a day with VIP treatment - which included behind-the-scenes tours of the locomotive and carriage works and getting close up to the engines in the locomotive yard at Rolvenden. There were interactive presentations with Chris and the children also enjoyed a bonus peek into the signal box at Tenterden, where they were shown the basic principles of signalling.

The children demonstrated a superb understanding of physics - many as a result of reading Chris’ books. One dynamic girl gave the adults a laugh as she challenged our staff during their presentations! All the children were so well-behaved and we definitely saw some future rail industry leaders.

The success of the event has resulted in our team planning a further date for Junior Experiences; details of which will be announced on our website next month.



Although we have taken the approach of simplifying the Railway for this year, it is important to remember our heritage. In this vein during September we turn our attention to telling the story of the thousands of Londoners who would visit Kent and East Sussex each year for their family "summer holiday" to pick hops. On-train activities will include Hop-picking activity sheets, new interpretation, along with a superb video of our own Vic Grigg (Bodiam Group), demonstrating the hop pickers huts and telling some of the stories of how families lived when they stayed on farms for their hop-picking holidays.

Added to this, in a smaller scale event than we have seen in years past, Bodiam station will be the venue for some beer tastings, live music, garland making and more during the weekend of 4th and 5th September. More details are available on our website in addition to details of some guided walks from Bodiam as part of the High Weald Walking festival taking place 11th to 19th August: https://www.highwealdwalks.org

Following Hop Picking celebrations, the weekend of 11th and 12th September sees the return of our popular 1940's event at Tenterden and Bodiam stations. With live music, re-enactors, military and civilian vehicles and trading stalls, there is much to enjoy during this weekend and again, more information can be found on our website.

Looking further forward we are planning activities for October half term - including the return of "Fright Night" a great excuse to get dressed up and join in the Halloween fun!

The 2022 plans are already in draft and there is much for our entire team to be getting on with; we are very much looking forward to our Santa Specials season after the disappointment of having to cancel the event last year!

Project Assessment Committee
‍During the creation of our 5 year strategic plan, it became clear to the board that if we are going to be successful in the future, the K&ESR must adopt a more commercial and professional approach to the way it initiates and manages projects to make sure that we use our scarce resources wisely, efficiently and effectively. So, to achieve this and to provide some consistency in the way we decide where best to invest our time and money, a Project Assessment Committee (PAC) was set up at the start of the year and reports to the board, providing advice on and insight into projects requiring board approval.

Chaired by Volunteer Andy Papworth, PAC membership includes Matt Hyner (Trustee, Volunteering and Projects), David Nibloe (Trustee, Strategy), Brian Richards (Infrastructure) and Shaun Dewey (General Manager). Department managers are also invited to meetings to champion proposals as required.

‍So, what have PAC achieved over the last 6 months? Well, quite a lot actually!

Firstly, a process now exists that helps department managers to quickly, simply and consistently present all of the relevant information about a project in one place, which means that projects can then be reviewed and discussed by the relevant committees such as Risk, Fund-Raising and Finance on their route to board approval.

‍Secondly, through PAC, K&ESR now has a comprehensive list of the projects currently in train (pun intended) across the railway. This allows us to track the progress of initiatives, see at a glance where our money is being spent and understand where we are utilising the valuable time of our volunteers. It means we can plan for future activities because we have a much better idea of how projects are proceeding, when they should be wrapped up, and therefore when resources will become available.

Going forward, we can also become more proactive in our fundraising activities. By developing a ‘wish list’ of future projects, the railway can for example investigate potential grant funding sources as a precursor to commencing a new project.

And the good news is, it’s working. Since the start of the year, projects with a total spend of over £50,000 have passed through the PAC process, including:

The marketing campaign costs for our very successful Keep Us On Track appeal
Purchasing the new toilet for Cranbrook Road crossing (to be installed later this summer)
The purchase and installation of the Bodiam Sewage plant
Overhaul of the Family Saloon by C&W
Acquisition of a replacement Telehandler for use by the Permanent Way team
Completing essential repairs to a ballast regulator to allow our tracks to be properly maintained.
‍So, what’s next for PAC? Well, they’ve started but they definitely haven’t finished. As we start to emerge from the restrictions of the last 18 months, we need to look to the future again with our planning and our projects.
PAC will continue to work closely with the management team to build out that ‘wish list’, and with the Fundraising committee to identify to opportunities that are available to us to build and improve the Kent et East Sussex Railway for future generations.

‍As mentioned in our previous article, the biggest challenge we faced in 2020 was the loss of income through attendance at steam fairs, country shows etc that had been cancelled. This stayed the same through 2021, until Bill Giles took the brave decision to go ahead with the Weald of Kent Steam Rally, originally arranged for the weekend 7th-8th August, but due to bad weather, postponed until the 14th-15th August. So, with not much warning, it was all hands to the pump to prepare the display marquee, load up the trailer with everything required and get ourselves off to Woodchurch to set up on the Friday afternoon.

A great two days was had by all who manned the stand, and our thanks goes out to them for giving up their time at the weekend to support us.

For those of you who keenly follow our restoration, a full report on the progress of 4253 and its boiler, will be sent out in the not-too-distant future in the next Shareholders Newsletter.
‍ As always, we send out a plea. If you can help us, by buying a boiler share, sponsoring a Stay or donating, please go to the how to help page on our website. https://www.4253.co.uk/how-to-help/ If you have the form but have yet completed it, Charlie is offering a free 4253 pen to fill it in!

Il se passe plein de choses aux Mouettes, et finalement le temps manque pour vous en informer.

Le plus important, c'est le succès actuel intense du Train Restaurant.
Les 700 places des 9 premiers trains sont parties en 89 heures.
Depuis, nous ajoutons de nouveaux trains, et c'est pareil.
Le voir passer de nuit est impressionnant. Oui, les gens viennent bien habillés, et sont surpris par le repas et sa qualité.
Surpris par le repas car il ne s'agit pas d'un repas classique mais d'une succession de plats qui surprennent.
De service sur le train régulier aujourd'hui, j'ai eu la surprise de voir des voyageurs venir le prendre juste pour savoir comment avoir une place puisqu'elles partent si vite.

Oui, nous avons eu un incident de chaudière, et le constructeur semble ne pas juger utile de nous soutenir dans l'épreuve.
Nous allons procéder au remplacement d'une partie de la boite à feu, excusez du peu sur une chaudière qui n'a pas dix ans.
Cause : tout le gueulard est en 100 mm d'épaisseur, une masse d'acier que ne peut refroidir l'eau entre boite à feu et corps de chaudière. On imagine les contraintes que cette masse d'acier portée à haute température impose à la boite à feu.
Bon, ici, c'est les Mouettes. vous connaissez notre puissance de feu : la chaudière est extraite du châssis, prête à être chargée, le dossier de réparation notable est en cours, le transport de la chaudière organisé ainsi que les travaux, et en plus le devis est financé.
C'est un métier.
Dans le genre puissance de feu, on a aussi grimpé une marche, avec le train restaurant.
La rame restaurant, elle a un logiciel de gestion, de l'électronique, une suspension pneumatique, des portes à ouverture pneumatique, la climatisation, des frigos professionnels, une cuisine professionnelle, un fourgon énergies électrique (deux groupes pour la redondance) et pneumatique...
Bref, on n'est plus dans le domaine de la maintenance d'un 51000 ou d'un X 7600 : c'est un autre monde.
Nous avons donc créé encore un autre poste en embauchant un salarié venu de la construction aéronautique. Le déverminage, il connait, et il a eu besoin de connaitre !

Coté nouvel atelier de Chaillevette, il semble que l'entreprise chargée du gros oeuvre ait été sélectionnée : on ne parle pas encore de la date de début des travaux de ce nouveau bâtiment, mais cela avance.

Idem en gare de La Tremblade, pour l'avancée vers la gare ex SNCF : les travaux de finition du port avancent avant le retour de la voie ferrée : que ferons-nous alors de notre belle postale ? Sera-telle incorporée parfois dans la rame restaurant ?
Par ailleurs nous continuons à aider des réseaux amis VN à rentrer de nouveaux matériels.

Et avec toute cette activité, pas de photos à vous mettre en illustration !

BB 71000, peux-tu venir à notre secours ?
Merci
Olivier
