On Southern Lines in Devon and Cornwall
The Southern Railway, and later British Railways’ Southern Region extended its reach into Devon and Cornwall, competing with the Great Western Railway. The main line served Exeter and Plymouth and named trains such as the ‘Atlantic Coast Express’ and the ‘Devon Belle’ took holidaymakers to the coastal resorts, including Padstow, Bude and Ilfracombe. In addition, a network of lines served smaller locations in the two counties. Many of these lines were closed in the 1960s, during the Beeching era, and earlier BR’s Western Region had taken over the Southern’s lines in Devon and Cornwall west of Exeter. In this book railway historian Robert Hendry documents in photographs the changing race of the railways on these lines, from the days of the Southern Railway into BR’s ownership.
Preserving Diesel Hydraulic Locomotives
In the 1970s diesel locomotive preservation was very much in its infancy. With most of these locomotives having been built in the 1960s it seemed inconceivable that anyone would consider preserving one as they were so relatively young. However, despite steam having been phased out by 1968, the railways were rapidly changing and many of the early diesel classes were starting to be taken out of service due to dwindling work for them and line closures. Also, BR wanted to standardise the fleet. The diesel hydraulic classes were one type of locomotive targeted for early withdrawal. The first ones were taken out of service in 1968 and the final ones in 1977. In the last few years of their lives, they gained a tremendous following from enthusiasts which ignited a passion to try and preserve some before it was too late. As the movement gathered pace more people became involved and one of these was Steve Crowther. In this book he details the ups and downs of saving not one but three of these iconic locomotives for posterity.

The Great Railway Speculations
The creation of the public railway network in Britain, which began in 1825, came about due to a desire for better transport links and to improve on the existing systems of canals and roads. Naturally for a new transport scheme, financing was crucial and came with a high degree of risk. Another challenge was to be found in the limited technology available at the time. Existing railways were used principally for freight, with traction provided by horses or stationary engines. Locomotive power was still at the experimental stage. What emerged from these circumstances were independently financed schemes based on innovative engineering. The British parliament was at the heart of the process. It sanctioned each railway and was instrumental in imposing regulations and setting new standards for operation. With the success of early schemes came a greater incentive to invest in new proposals, and such was the clamour for new railways that parliament had to select the most promising concepts, thereby laying the foundations for the railway network. This first volume of The Great Railway Speculations concentrates on the early years of the creation of the Midland Railway Network, between 1825 and 1847, when the risks were high and returns higher, and the government, realising the momentous changes that were afoot, tried to keep pace.
North West Railways Gallery
This book contains a selection of mainly unpublished photographs from the vast collection of railway photos and slides held in the archives of the Manchester Locomotive Society, founded in 1935, and based at their clubrooms on Stockport station. Many were taken by the original members of the club during the 1930s and in the post-war period of the early 1950s. Their locations range from Stafford in the south to Shap in the north and Shrewsbury/Llandudno in the west to Peak Forest in the east and their dates range from the Victorian era to the present day. Most of the photos are of locomotives and trains of the London & North Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire Railways and the successor LMS Company, but the range includes some Midland and Great Western subjects.The book will be of interest to railway historians and modellers of the period and timescales portrayed and to those just fascinated by the railways of the industrial north-west and the magnificent scenery of the locations in North Wales, the Peak and Lake Districts.
The London Enviro 400 MMC and City
The first ADL Enviro 400 MMC (Major Model Change) was built in 2014 with the first entering service in London during 2015. Since then the type has been available as an integral, the E40D diesel and hybrid E40H model. A number of Volvo B5LH models also entered service with London operators. The MMC became one of the standard London double-deck types, becoming popular with Go-Ahead London, Stagecoach London and Abellio London.The Enviro 400 City followed in 2018, the hybrid version proving less-popular than the Enviro 400 MMC. Arriva London and CT Plus took stock of the hybrid E40H model, with no others being purchased. However, the type came into its own when the body was fitted to the BYD D8UR DD electric double-decker in 2018.London’s Enviro 400 MMC and City takes a look at the history of the two types since their introduction up until the present day.
Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure
Top Gear turned gloomy Sunday nights into celebratory Friday nights.
It made household names of presenters Clarkson, Hammond and May, their unique chemistry and buddy movie antics proving irresistible to a vast global audience. With these three at the helm, Top Gear earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most popular factual TV show on the planet.
Then, a short while later, it was all gone.
How did a thoroughly sensible little consumer advice programme on cars turn into a global phenomenon in the first place, though? How did it all go wrong? And how did they rise from the ashes as The Grand Tour, and go on to scale even greater heights?
One man has all the answers.
There from the beginning, Top Gear and The Grand Tour co-creator, and Jeremy’s oldest friend, Andy Wilman, opens the bonnet on over twenty years of motoring mayhem. In Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure, the mysterious man in the shadows tells the inside story of your favourite TV shows for the first time.
Irreverent, joyful and as laugh-out-loud funny as the shows themselves, it’s the best book about Top Gear and The Grand Tour . . . in the world.
Legendární Favorit
Kniha je především věnována vozu Favorit – prvnímu sériovému automobilu značky Škoda s pohonem předních kol, který mladoboleslavská automobilka vyvinula v úzké spolupráci s italskou karosářskou firmou Bertone a vývojovým střediskem firmy Porsche. Veřejnosti jej představila v září 1987 na strojírenském veletrhu v Brně.
Publikace připomíná jeho poněkud komplikovaný vznik i úlohu v procesu novodobé emancipace mladoboleslavské automobilky, kdy se v dubnu 1991 stala čtvrtou značkou koncernu Volkswagen. Přehledně mapuje změny, jimiž prošly vozy Škoda Favorit, Forman a Pick-up během své aktivní kariéry v letech 1987 až 1995, a připomíná pestrou paletu jejich variant i projekty, které se do výroby nedostaly.
Milovníky motoristického sportu potěší přehled aktivit s upravenými vozy Škoda Favorit v automobilových soutěžích i v závodech na okruzích a do vrchu. Text obsahující technické údaje jednotlivých modelů i přehled výroby a exportu doprovází 430 archivních fotografií, z nichž řada nebyla dosud publikována.

BMC Farina Cars In Detail
In the late1950s, BMC commissioned Italian styling house Pinin Farina to unify the look ofits expanding car range. The result was a family of neatly styled saloons thatwould define British roads for more than a decade. Sold under six differentmarques – Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas – the BMC Farinamodels shared styling cues and many mechanical components, but were carefullydifferentiated for different markets. From the compactAustin A40 Farina to the roomy Vanden Plas Princess, these were cars for everyoccasion – fleet, family, and formal. Today, they are appreciated both fortheir understated elegance and their significance in postwar British motoring. Surprisingly,despite their popularity and visibility at the time, these cars have never beenfully documented in a single volume – until now. In this richly illustratedbook, renowned historian Anders Ditlev Clausager tells the full story of theFarina cars, from design and development to production and marketing. Drawingon factory records and period sources, he provides the first comprehensiveaccount of these once-ubiquitous vehicles, including all models, variants andevolutions across the full production run. BMC Farina Carsin Detail is the essential reference for owners, restorers, and enthusiasts ofthese distinctive and once-familiar British classics. Key features:– Covers allFarina-styled BMC models from 1958 to 1974– IncludesAustin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas variants– Detaileddevelopment history, production changes and specifications– Over 360 images– First in-depthbook ever published on the full Farina range– A landmark workby one of Britain’s leading motoring historians
Britain's Railways in the Second World War
The outbreak of the Second World War had an enormous effect on the railway system in Britain. Keeping the trains running through times of conflict was not such a distant memory for the railway companies and their workers but in this second major war of the twentieth century, the task was to prove a very different one. The railway system no longer consisted of the hundreds of companies of the past, but the Big Four' still needed to learn how to work together and forget their differences for the war effort. The logistics of the mass evacuation of children, and transporting thousands of troops during the evacuation of Dunkirk and the preparations for D-Day, for instance, were unprecedented. At the same time, they had to cope with the new and constant threat of aerial bombing that military advances brought to the Second World War. The railway system, and the men and women who ran it, effectively served as another branch of the military during the conflict. This book is a fascinating account of the important role that the railways played in the defence of the country as well as in their support of the Allied forces in theatres of war around the world. It brings to light the often forgotten stories of the brave and hard-working men and women who went to work on the railways and put their lives on the line.

Z Ruzyně do jižního Tichomoří
Všichni vědí, co znamenají tři písmena ČSA. V první éře, do roku 1939, Československé Státní Aerolinie, v druhé poválečné etapě Československé Aerolinie a konečně v té poslední, od roku 1995, České Aerolinie. Jedná se o jednu z nejstarších leteckých společností, která letos slaví sto let své existence, což má v letectví zvláštní váhu, protože vždycky platilo, že přesvědčit cestující o své důvěryhodnosti a bezpečnosti provozu není snadné, a jedná se o proces, který většinou zabírá několik desetiletí.
V nové knize Z Ruzyně do jižního Tichomoří jsem se pokusil zachytit několik významných okamžiků vývoje naší domácí letecké společnosti, spolu s vlastními postřehy, kdy jsem jako pilot, později kapitán létal od roku 1994 na linkách do blízkých, a později i vzdálenějších destinací letového řádu ČSA. Od roku 2014 jsem přesedlal na dálkový Airbus A330, provozovaný významnou východoasijskou leteckou společností Korean Air, a vydal se na cestu kolem světa.
I když v jiných kulisách, létání je podobné všude na světě. A kdo jednou propadne kouzlu létajících strojů, vždycky bude nedočkavě vyhlížet další let a těšit se na návraty do modré hlubiny vysoko nad mraky, kde má pocit, že se vrací domů.
Pojďte se tam podívat se mnou.

Aston Martin: the V8 Legacy
This book charts the origins, design and development of the most iconic British supercar of the 1970s and 1980s - the Aston Martin V8. It traces the car''s origins from the introductory model of 1967, the DBS through the various iterations of the V8 versions and ends with the final models of the range, the spectacular Vantage Zagato. While the car started life with Aston Martin''s ageing six-cylinder engine, it quickly received the engine the car was originally designed to be fitted with; Aston Martin''s mighty quad cam V8. The V8 would would power the car through the 70s and 80s, and with various tweaks and tunes, described in the book, would keep Aston Martin''s reputation as a vendor of fast, high-performance coupes alive through some very troubling times.The book covers the whole family of standard production cars produced by Aston Martin, along with various special versions, including the Ogle-designed ''Sotheby Special'', the Siva S350 and the ''Bulldog'' which recently broke the 200mph barrier. Alongside the specials the book also looks at the racing variants, including the Le Mans Lola of 1967, the spectacular V8 production racer run by Robin Hamilton (which was nicknamed ''the muncher'' thanks to its spectacular performance meaning it would eat is brakes for breakfast) and the Nimrod, which saw Aston Martin return to Le Mans in the 1980s. It also looks at the car in film and on the small screen, with James Bond looming large (''On Her Majesty''s Secret Service'' and ''The Living Daylights'') and with Roger Moore cavorting about Europe with Tony Curtis in the popular TV series ''The Persuaders!'' polishing the cars celebrity credentials.With some 70,000 words and 250+ pictures, many never seen before, this book pays a heartfelt tribute to the The Aston Martin V8. The V8 was the poster car for the patriotic British teenager of the 1970s and 1980s, providing a glimmer of hope that Britain could produce a world beating performance car that was the match of Italian exotica and American muscle. The Aston Martin V8 was that world beater, a car with superlative looks, amazing performance, unparalleled luxury and tough, reliable underpinnings. This book is a heartfelt tribute to the car, the car that kept Aston Martin''s hopes and British automotive dreams alive, a car that is now starting to be recognised for the true British supercar it always has been.
40 Motoring Heroes
> How did an English pub inspire a legendary road safety feature?> Which F1 driver had to wear leg braces as a young boy in hospital, yet started his own winning team?> What prompted a young woman from Alabama to invent the windscreen wiper?> Who was the “bloody fool” from Yorkshire who master-minded the VW Beetle’s rise from the ashes of the Second World War?40 Motoring Heroes offers a fact-filled, illustrated insight into motoring history, not only for petrol heads and motoring enthusiasts, but anyone with a passion for fascinating people.
