List of equations

[szsctt]

I'm trying to insert a list of equations as well all the other lists in the front matter.

I found a solution on the web (https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=428), and inserting the following lines into ociamthesis.cls sort of gets the job done:
\usepackage{tocloft}

\newcommand{\listequationsname}{List of Equations}
\newlistof{myequations}{equ}{\listequationsname}
\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{%
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\par}
\setlength{\cftmyequationsnumwidth}{2.5em}% Width of equation number in List of Equations

with equations inserted as
\begin{equation}
titre = n \times d \times 10
\end{equation}
\label{eq:titre}
\myequations{Calculation of virus titre}

and

%List of equations
\listofmyequations
\mtcaddchapter

inserted in Oxford_thesis.tex after all the other lists.

This works in the sense that it inserts a table of equations, however it has the unintended consequences that the tables of figures and tables are now no longer on seperate pages. The list of equations is also not listed in the table of contents.

Any ideas about a better way to insert a table of equations?
