Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

however, they simply couldn’t cope with what was required. Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

however, they simply couldn’t cope with what was required. Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

however, they simply couldn’t cope with what was required. Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.

Struggling with the larger, heavier internal trains and were unable to effectively haul suburban services to the speeds and distances required. Although the LB\u0026amp;SCR had several larger classes of tender loco at their disposal, these caused havoc with the timetable on these shorter services as they took additional time to turn them at either end of their journey.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp stepped William Stroudley, Locomotive Superintendent of the LB\u0026amp;SCR.
