The Unsinkable Titanic
In this unparalleled investigation that deconstructs the modern hindsight that has tainted Titanic’s legacy, Allen Gibson presents a comprehensive history with a refreshing argument, that Titanic represented a considerable achievement in maritime architecture. Telling the story of the ‘unsinkable’ ship against a backdrop of a tumultuous and rapidly emerging technological world, he exposes the people and the circumstances that contributed to the disaster, and the blame that went on in its aftermath. This updated and expanded edition further unravels the mindset that wilfully dispatched the world’s largest ship out to sea with a famously deficient supply of lifeboats, and lays bare the technology so dramatically destroyed.

Scenic North Wales Bus Journeys
The scenery of North Wales is well known for its breathtaking views and historic landmarks, with towns and villages having their own unique history and modern-day function. But one thing that links them all, quite literally in many instances, is the bus, the ever-vital lifeline for communities enabling people to travel to the shops or to medical appointments, to school or college, or to work. The bus can provide journeys that rail cannot, and does so here with a backdrop of castles, lakes, forests, market towns and the stunning coastline.Travelling from east to west, Simon Ackers visits Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conwy and Gwynedd, with scenic sights framing the variety of bus types and operators as they go about their daily work, with each picture providing an insight into the location and the vehicle.
London's Titans
The Titan was an integral double-decker bus built by Leyland Motors, becoming the standard double-decker produced by the company in the 1980s. The type was not as popular as its main competitor, the MCW Metrobus. As with this latter model, London Transport was Leyland’s best customer for the Titan. Leyland built one of the prototype Titans to London specification and it was used on trials from Chalk Farm garage in May 1976. The first six entered service with London Transport from Hornchurch garage in December 1978. The first 250 were built at the former AEC facility in Southall. Production then moved north to Leyland’s own factory in Workington. The last members of the fleet were delivered to London Transport in 1984, with 1,125 being built new for London. These were joined by five additional Titans from West Midlands PTE in 1984, as well as a former demonstrator, bringing the total to 1,131. At the time of privatisation, Titans passed to six of the new London operators. A number of Titans passed to London Pride and the Big Bus Company for further use as tour buses. David Beddall documents the Titan’s service in London, both in normal passenger service and as a tour bus, through a diverse selection of high-quality images.

200 Years of Locomotive Development
Since Richard Trevithick’s first forays into the development of the steam locomotive, Britain’s engineers have been at the forefront of railway technology. Often innovative, and sometimes unfairly maligned, the country’s locomotive engineers continually broke new barriers in traction technology although not everything was successful. From the earliest simple steam locomotives to the latest diesel and electric engines, Britain had led the way in railway locomotion, although competition from European, Japanese and American manufacturers sometimes exceeded what British engineers had achieved. In this new book, industrial and railway historian Dr Richard Marks provides fresh insights into Britain’s role in railway locomotive design and technology, and examines the highlights of British developments from Trevithick’s Coalbrookdale locomotive to the Brush Class 60 diesel locomotive. Based upon new research this useful primer aims to start the reader on a journey of discovery, unravelling some of the myths which have arisen around Britain’s railway history and explaining in an easy to follow narrative why some potentially advantageous developments failed to live up to expectations. In this new survey of 200 years of British locomotive history to accompany the Railway 200 celebrations, the reader is presented with a compelling and easy to read introduction to a complex, but intriguing subject.
The Stroudley Brighton Terriers
The Stroudley Brighton Terriers were one of the most successful designs of tank locomotive to run on the railways of Britain. They were introduced in 1872 and operated in main line service until November 1963, when ten members of the class were preserved both officially and by heritage railways. This volume tells the facinating story of there service and operational life, both on the main line and later when many of them had a further existence on light railways and in industry. John Scott-Morgan and Peter Steer have spent many hours reserching the interesting history of these Victorian survivors that operated long after there original lifespan on many railways across Britain.
