Reg_Newbold_1978_10_Belsize

            During the autumn of 1978 the Nottingham Division S & T Department had a substantial amount of testing and commissioning work on the Midland Main Line in north London. For a number of weeks I was transferred from my normal signalling design office job to the go trackside, testing and commissioning. We also borrowed from Crewe Division S & T Department for several weeks Mr Reg Newbold and we were paired up together. Here is Reg on the 22nd October 1978 about to start work in some location cases at the southern portal of the 1 mile, 107 yard Belsize tunnel. 

Things to note are the standard trackside dress for a lot of the testing staff at that time, collar and tie, jacket and trousers, minimal PPE (orange mini vest) and the rudimentary weather protection that has been erected. 

Also of note was during this period I walked through Belsize tunnel (1 mile 107 yards long) a number of times without any form of possession and with trains running, moving into one of the tunnel refuges when a train approached, standard practice of the time.

Working at the southern portal of Belsize tunnel was fine, which is more than can be said for the northern portal which was situated underneath a number of “fast food” eating establishments on Finchley Road. Consequently elements of food waste found its way onto the railway which resulted in the area being a mecca for rats.
