  We present recent developments in the accelerator design of CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications), the proposed UK FEL test facility at Daresbury Laboratory. The layout changes include a dedicated collimator in CLARA front end to provide some control over the dark current, changes to low energy diagnostics section and modifications to FEL modules. The progress in the design simulations mainly focus on injector simulations incorporating wake fields in ASTRA, comparison of using ELEGANT and CSRTRACK for the Variable Bunch Compressor and first considerations of requirement of laser heater for CLARA.

  Recent developments on the VELA (Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator) RF photo-injector at Daresbury Laboratory are presented. These are three-fold; commissioning/installation, characterising and providing beam to users. Measurements for characterising the dark current (DC), 4-D transverse emittance, lattice functions and photoinjector stability are presented. User beam set ups to provide beam for electron diffraction and Cavity Beam Position Monitor development are summarised.
