The aim of this series is to appeal to readers of all ages, perhaps for different reasons...In this volume: We travel back to the year 1969, as ever an eventful year, that included: * Concorde test flight * Victoria Line opens * The halfpenny ceases to be legal tender * Permanent abolition of the death penalty in Britain * First man walks on the Moon * Investiture of Charles, Prince of Wales For the younger reader there are wonderful pictures of buses and coaches that they will never have seen. There will, for example, be half-cab single and double deckers the like of which are no longerin production. Some will be recognised from models and books, while others will be seen for the first time. For the older reader the books are designed to build into a collection placing the road transport in the context of key events thus providing an historical perspective of travel in times past. For those old enough to remember the years depicted, the series will, we hope, provide reminders for many of school days, time perhaps spent bus-spotting, depot visiting and generally visiting interesting locations!The books also make ideal theme gifts for the year of birth, marriage, retirement, starting work and other such events in life.

The more than 230 photographs in this album were taken between 1951 and 1978. The majority are in colour and have never before been published. Covering all the major bus and trolleybus operators in the North East, East Yorkshire & Durham, together with a few smaller but well-known companies, most of the pictures show the buses in pre-National Bus Company and Passenger Transport Executive liveries. They also, of course, provide nostalgic views of street scenes, shops and contemporary road vehicles in locations from Gateshead to York and Halifax, and from Newcastle to Sheffield.

A completely updated and expanded edition of the cult bestseller, featuring subway, light rail, and streetcar maps from New York to Nizhny Novgorod. Transit Maps of the World is the first and only comprehensive collection of historical and current maps of every rapid-transit system on earth. In glorious, colorful graphics, Mark Ovenden traces the cartographic history of mass transit-including rare and historic maps, diagrams, and photographs, some available for the first time since their original publication. Now expanded with thirty-six more pages, 250 city maps revised from previous editions, and listings given from almost a thousand systems in total, this is the graphic designer's new bible, the transport enthusiast's dream collection, and a coffee-table essential for everyone who's ever traveled in a city.

Various events contrived to bring about the cafe racer era, together with the advent of the rocker - and subsequently mod - cults. New motorcycles such as the BSA Gold Star singles and star twins, Norton Dominator, Royal Enfield Meteor and Constellation, Triumph Tiger 110 and Thunderbird and Velocette Venom created a new breed of enthusiast. Films such as Marlon Brando's The Wild One expressed, albeit in somewhat extreme form, the biker-as-rebel philosophy. Add to this the potency of that biggest of all pop music phenomena, rock'n'roll, and the ingredients were all in place.

This third volume takes in the routes to the north-east and east of the town, together with the trolleybus route west to Whitmore Reans and the bus services beyond to Pendeford and Codsall. Also included are services to Bushbury Hill, Pear Tree (Low Hill), Amos Lane, Wednesfield Road and beyond, Willenhall Road, Walsall, Bilston and Darlaston.

In this third volume, we venture on the 8-mile ride along the Bristol Road to the Lickey Hills, Rubery and Rednall, and to Cotteridge, Moseley and Alcester Lanes End. We are also treated to the opportunity of sampling the maze of routes in Balsall Heath known as 'The Chinese Railway'.

In this highly readable book, Nick Clayton charts the origins of the bicycle, a machine that is still regarded as the most efficient means of translating human energy into motion. Focusing on the early years of development, the author examines the technological developments that have led to the modern bicycle, including the hobby-horse, velocipede, boneshaker, tricycle, the pneumatic tyre, shaft drive, hub-gear, derailleur and many others. He also looks at differences in design, whether for ladies' bikes or for sport and off-road vehicles. The book is filled with interesting information and anecdotes and the author tackles such questions as why the penny-farthing had such a large front wheel or the meaning of trail-and-fork offset. As the bicycle continues to grow in popularity, both as an environmentally friendly travel solution and for sports as varied as triathlon and cyclo-sportive, this book provides you with all the answers you need about one of the most ingenious human inventions.

Thames Bridges - this may prompt many to think of the London bridges which span the river - Tower Bridge, Hammersmith Bridge and the Hungerford Bridges to name but a few. Yet in this stunning new book, Neil Davenport explores the Thames bridges - past and present - from its source in Gloucestershire out to the North Sea. His many images are supported by additional information on Acts of Parliament, Thames authorities and Highway and Bridge authorities. The river Thames has a rich history and its bridges are very much a part of this. These include the Radcot Bridge. Dating from 1154, the three arch masonry bridge is the oldest remaining bridge across the Thames today. Moving in an upstream order, the author presents road, rail and footbridges. In total the main stream is crossed by 180 bridges. Given the stretches where it is divided into two or more streams and allowing for islands, the total number of bridges to cross the Thames is almost double this figure.The bridges vary greatly in size, appearance and date but they embody almost all of the architectural and structural techniques for bridge building so far. Their structure and architecture is supported by illustrations and drawings old and new from a variety of sources. This book includes the 2002 Hungerford Bridges, making it the most up-to-date authority on the subject, and a highly enjoyable book for anyone who has lived along the river or who has a particular affection for/memory of any of the bridges, past or present.

In 1942 the first true 'utility' buses arrived in the city, then in 1947-54 a new fleet was acquired, almost sweeping away the pre-war vehicles. Routes were lengthened and new services introduced, but by the end of the 1950s the glory days were over, culminating in the formation of the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive in 1969.

In the 1980s Great Britain had steadily seen an influx of foreign manufacturers, a trend that was to eventually see the demise of all the major UK makes. However, it was still possible to see lots of interesting vehicles - some companies and individuals remained staunch users of British-built lorries. Quite a few older vehicles could still be seen soldiering on, but as time went on these gradually started to disappear. With a wealth of previously unpublished photos, this volume will bring back some memories of how things used to be.

During the mid-1990s Nottingham's scene was dominated by Nottingham City Transport and the Wellglade group that included Trent buses and Barton buses. Notable independents had been purchased by Wellglade and Nottingham City Transport respectively, with evidence of their existence still very much on the road. Other players included Kinch, Nottingham Omnibus and Delta bus, who tried to make a mark on the scene but were eventually swept away. By the end of decade low-floor buses would start to become the new normal, and new operating practices began to change. This nostalgic look back at buses in Nottingham in the 1990s presents a picture of an interesting and varied bus scene.

This book covers the operations of Jersey Motor Transport from the late 1980s, as well as looking at how the island's bus scene has developed over the last three decades, including the Easylink and Connex era. Jersey was a popular tourist destination during this period, and the coach business was booming. Operators Holiday Tours Mascot and Tantivy merged in the 1990s to become Tantivy Holiday Tours, operating over a hundred coaches and minicoaches. Blue Coaches later joined the Tantivy group, and the purchase of Pioneer Coaches followed. This leaves just two main coach operators on the island. Previously unpublished photographs document this unique bus scene.

Road tankers come in many forms, with certain goods very often dictating the type and shape. The transport industry has adapted many innovations over the years and a wide variety of examples have travelled on our roads over the years - powder tanks, tanks for liquids, and even specialised tanks for the carriage of a plethora of goods from live eels to animal feed, cement, plastic pellets and more. All of the images in this book were captured by the author over a number of years. They document an important part of our transport history and will delight enthusiasts and modellers alike.
