Class 25, 26 and 27 Locomotives in Scotland - Colin J. Howat - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

These locomotives were introduced to British Rail in 1956 and were initially allocated to Eastfield Depot in Glasgow and Haymarket Depot in Edinburgh. They became known as Type 2s and were used for both passenger and freight services. In later years the Class 26 fleet became dedicated to various coal workings in the Ayrshire area. A number of Class 27 locos were later converted for push-pull operation on the busy Glasgow Queen Street–Edinburgh service from 1971 and lasted until 1980.This book covers all three classes from the BR era through to privatisation and beyond. All classes carried out sterling work all over Scotland and some are now preserved at various heritage lines throughout Scotland.

Harwich & Dovercourt Through Time - Michael Rouse - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Harwich & Dovercourt Through Time - Michael Rouse - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Harwich is one of the Haven Ports. Its position on the estuaries of the River Stour and River Orwell has played a defining role in the history of the town, as it was one of the only safe havens on the East Coast between the Thames and Humber. As a result, Harwich has played a key maritime role through the centuries. The town became a significant naval base in 1657, and soon major batteries were developed including the Harwich Redoubt, Beacon Hill Battery and Bath Side Battery. Dovercourt is actually older than its close neighbour Harwich, having been mentioned in the Domesday Survey, but it is considerably smaller. In truth, however, the towns are contiguous today. Both Dovercourt and Harwich are picturesque coastal towns, with significant tourist interest. This unique selection of old and new images and informative captions is essential reading for anybody who knows and loves these beautiful Essex towns.

London's Enviro200 Buses - David Beddall - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

London's Enviro200 Buses - David Beddall - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Enviro200 was a new midibus launched by Transbus International in 2003, but was unsuccessful. A relaunch of the model in 2006 turned the model into a success, being purchased by a large number of operators, big and small, not only the UK but around the world. Designed as a replacement for the ALX200 and Plaxton Pointer models, the Enviro200 soon became a popular choice with all London operators. In 2014, Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) launched the MMC (Major Model Change) version, which was originally offered alongside the ‘Classic’ model that was eventually dropped in 2015. In 2018, a longer version of the Enviro200 MMC was produced, replacing the Enviro 300 saloon. Like its predecessors, the Enviro200 is available in a variety of lengths to suit the needs of operators.

The Last Days of Second Generation EMUs on the Main Line - Adam Head - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Last Days of Second Generation EMUs on the Main Line - Adam Head - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

As time goes by, progression is always happening across the UK rail network, and a major aspect of this is the trains that operate on the network. The replacement of the trains is a significant part of this process. Train operating companies around the country periodically undertake the removal of some of their life-expired, older trains in preparation for newer, much more modern units to take over the day-to-day operations of passenger work as the numbers of people travelling on the railways rises every year. Once removed from service, the next destination of these units varies as they are either transferred, stored or sent for scrap.With fascinating illustrations and informative captions, Adam Head looks at the final months of a variety of elderly EMUs operating all over the UK network in their many different liveries and locations.

The Erewash Valley Line - Paul Robertson - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Erewash Valley Line - Paul Robertson - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Erewash Valley line, linking the busy railway junctions at Trent through the once bustling yards of the iconic railway location of Toton and to the main line at Clay Cross, has seen much in the way of change over the last half a century. Infrastructure, traffic types, wagon and locomotive classes have all seen a mixture of rationalisation, overhaul, replacement, withdrawal and investment. This changing scene has provided enthusiasts and photographers with outstanding variety and opportunities to record the changing times, and while the amount of traffic lost can be lamented, the modern-day photographer can still find good variety.With 180 previously unpublished photographs, this book provides a snapshot of diesels working over the route through this period of change, from the corporate British Rail era to the early years of privatisation and up to the present day.

RM70 – Seventy Years of a London Icon - Malcolm Batten - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

RM70 – Seventy Years of a London Icon - Malcolm Batten - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Routemaster bus has become synonymous with London and is recognised the world over. Although fewer were built than of the preceding RT type, their uniqueness and longevity made them instantly identifiable as the typical London bus. First conceived as a replacement for the trolleybuses, the prototype was unveiled in 1954. Main production did not start until 1959 but they would then continue to serve London’s passengers until 2005. From the 1980s, they began to be withdrawn from London, but many found further use with bus companies throughout Britain and beyond.Now, seventy years since the prototype first emerged, some Routemasters can still be found on sightseeing work in London. Others are in use for such purposes as corporate hospitality, film work and wedding hires, while hundreds survive in preservation. This book celebrates this iconic symbol of London through a collection of outstanding images and informative captions.

Freight Trains of the Western Region in the 1980s - Kevin Redwood - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Freight Trains of the Western Region in the 1980s - Kevin Redwood - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

From coal trains in South Wales to clay trains in Cornwall, there were still large numbers of unfitted and vacuum-braked wagons of various types in use across the Western Region at the start of the 1980s. However changes were taking place, and by 1984 the traditional wagon-load freight network had disappeared, and with it many yards were closed or rationalised. The replacement Speedlink Network conveyed modern air-braked wagons, many of them privately owned. Company block trains also connected freight customers across the Region, hauled by a variety of loco classes.Between 1980 and 1986 Kevin Redwood was working in the Area Freight Centre at Bristol with a particular interest in freight traffic. On his days off he frequently travelled across the region to photograph the changing scene. His journeys took him to busy mainline locations like Didcot, as well as more obscure locations in South Wales and the West Country.

Sulzer Type 4 Locomotives - George Woods - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Sulzer Type 4 Locomotives - George Woods - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The BR modernisation plan of 1955 envisaged the replacement of steam traction with diesel and electric locos by around 1975. Chief among the requirements was a loco more powerful than the 2,000-hp locos that had been produced before then.The Sulzer Company in Switzerland were able to provide an engine of 2,300 hp, which was used in the Class 44. An updated 2,500-hp version was used in classes 45 and 46. There were 127 of these locos built at Crewe and Derby between 1960 and 1962, but they were overweight so a lighter co-design that would become Class 47 was developed using an uprated Sulzer engine producing 2,750 hp. A total of 512 of these were built between 1962 and 1966.This book of mostly unpublished colour photographs by George Woods shows the locos in service from 1966 to 2019, working many different types of traffic throughout the BR system.

Paddington Station Through Time - John Christopher - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Paddington Station Through Time - John Christopher - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Paddington is part of a hub of underground stations and is home to the world''s most famous bear, named after the station. Revel in the selection of images of Paddington Through Time and see how Brunel''s masterpiece has stood the test of time. ''I am going to design, in a great hurry, and I believe to build, a station after my own fancy,'' stated Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1851. That station, the second to bear the name ''Paddington'', was to be another Brunel masterpiece. His delight at the prospect of building a replacement and permanent station at Paddington is self-evident. The new station was to be built on the plot of land just south of the Bishop''s Road Bridge, defined by Eastbourne Terrace and Praed Street on two sides, and by London Street and the canal on the northeast side. Because the new station would be located almost entirely within a cutting, there would be no grand exterior, and instead, Brunel impressed with his immense roof of iron and glass. Paddington is currently in the middle of a huge redevelopment that has seen it retain much of its nineteenth-century design, but updated to suit traffic flows of today. Millions pass through the station weekly, both to the West and Wales and to Heathrow on the Heathrow Express.

Look with your Eyes and Tell the World - Roy Calley - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Look with your Eyes and Tell the World - Roy Calley - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

North Korea is the country with the highest number of military and paramilitary personnel in the world (nine and a half million). International organisations have declared that human rights violations there have no parallel in the modern world. It is estimated that 10,000 people die in North Korean prison camps every year.How did this come about? And what is life really like for the country''s 26 million citizens? As a journalist who has visited the country and talked to the people on many occasions, Roy Calley is in a unique position to pull aside the veil to reveal the reality of life there.He explains how the nation changed virtually overnight from a Buddhist country to one embracing the ''Juche'' theory of total selfreliance after independence from Japan.He also analyses the central importance of ''victory'' in the Korean War (1950–53) to how the North Koreans - both those in absolute power and the people - view themselves.Some of the author''s observations of everyday life come as a shock: in Pyonyang, for example, we find very little poverty. This is one of the most modern cities in the world, but it is completely devoid of any type of commercialism. The people genuinely adore the Kim dynasty. There is no possibility of self-advancement - but the concept means nothing to the ordinary citizen. To come to terms with the world''s latest nuclear power we need to understand how she works. Roy Calley has gone inside to bring back a genuine report about one of the world’s least understood countries.
