The Mountfield Line Since 2000
Passengers travelling on the Hastings Line, between Battle and Robertsbridge in Sussex, may well be surprised to observe a clearing in the forest where railway sidings have been laid. From here, into the woodland, a boundary gate gives access to a single track of railway: the Mountfield Line. Built in Victorian times as a private company railway to a gypsum mine, the track passes through pleasant and varied scenery. For years the trains were operated by the company’s own shunting locomotives. During the 1990s this way of working came to an end, when main line locomotives hauled their loads over the entire line for the first time. This era of operation by the freight companies EWS, GBRf and Freightliner is portrayed in this book. A wide range of locomotives are pictured, tackling the fierce 1 in 40 uphill gradient on the Mountfield Line and their workings are seen on the main line too. Railtours have also visited, as well as passing steam and diesel excursions trains, and these are featured here. Tucked away and unseen by most, Chris Livings explores the rich variety of trains that have visited the Mountfield Line over the last twenty-five years.
40 Years of Class 90 Locomotives
At the end of the 1980s a fleet of fifty Class 90 electric locomotives was to commence service for British Rail. The rail privatisation in the following decade saw the fleet divided between a number of private operators, including Virgin Trains and Rail Express Systems. Their duties were soon to extend to both passenger and freight work across most of the country’s electrified network.While some examples have been sidelined for a number of years, the majority of the fleet is still going strong as it approaches its fortieth anniversary in traffic. During that time, these locomotives have sported a variety of liveries, reflecting their diverse ownership and usage. The class spent many years at work on passenger duties along the length of the West Coast Main Line as well as Great Eastern flagship services between London and Norwich. These stalwarts even made appearances on both Anglo-Scottish sleeper services and were frequently hired in to perform East Coast Main Line passenger duties between King’s Cross and Yorkshire. Often operating in pairs, the class was used by both Freightliner and DB Cargo for their longer distance container workings, again where the power supply allowed. John Jackson highlights the diversity of the class with photographs from all electrified corners of the UK railway network across their four decades at work, proving they still have their worth on the network today.

200 Years of Railway Station Development
The railway station first appeared in Britain when the new railway companies began to carry passengers as well as the freight for which they had originally been built. From humble beginnings behind the bar in the local pub, to state of the art travel hubs, Britain’s railway stations have become a key part of society, even impacting how time is measured. As Britain’s railway network grew, so did it’s stations. Competing companies arrived in the same town and built magnificent structures to attract passengers to their lines over those of their competitors. Architectural styles were as varied as the companies who commissioned them, although all were built to provide a feeling of permanence and dynamism to the local communities they served. In this new introduction to the history of Britain’s railway stations, industrial and railway historian Dr Richard Marks examines why railway stations were built where and how they were. The impact of railway politics, rail heading and competition is clearly explained, to provide a new perspective on the railway station. Perhaps more than just a travel hub, the railway station was also place of sorrowful separations, and joyful reunions, new opportunity or departure to war something which is examined throughout the new book. The evolution of railway stations, be they magnificent city centre statements or humble branch line or light railway facilities, is a fascinating and complex subject to which this new volume aims to provide a readable introduction.

Large Tank Locomotive Classes of the Southern Railway
The three main constituent companies of the Southern Railway had different policies for tank engine design. The London & South Western built tank engines for suburban, branch and heavy goods work, the London, Brighton and South Coast had many designs for express passenger, mixed traffic and goods work as their main routes were short enough to be resourced by tank engines with limited water capacity and the South Eastern and Chatham ventured into a similar policy in its last days with the ‘River’ class only for the Southern Railway to be dissuaded from further development following the disastrous Sevenoaks accident in 1927. Unlike the other three post-Grouping railways, the Southern made no further effort to adopt the tank engine design for passenger or mixed traffic purposes apart from Maunsells ‘W’ and ‘Z’ for freight and shunting until Bulleid’s revolutionary (and unsuccessful) ‘Leader’ class. This book describes the design, construction, operation and performance of all these pre- and post-Grouping classes and the final adoption of the LMS and BR Standard 2-6-4 and 2-6-2 tank engines to fill the void in the Southern Region’s locomotive fleet.
