Since the mid-nineteenth century the East Coast Main Line has been one of the major routes from London to northern England and to Scotland. It has seen some of the greatest achievements in the railways, most notably the 'Flying Scotsman' becoming, in 1934, the first locomotive in the world to exceed 100mph and the 'Mallard' in 1938 claiming the as-yet-unbroken world speed record for steam locomotives of 126mph. The East Coast Main Line not only made history by facilitating an ever-faster link between two capital cities, it also provided an international stage for Britain's engineering marvels, inspiring many generations of schoolboys and adults alike. That was to continue after the end of the steam era on British Railways, with diesel and then electric traction setting a series of new records over the route. This new book looks at how the London-Edinburgh line became the world's fastest steam railway and how its proud and unique heritage is appreciated and celebrated today more than ever before.
Etosha National Park is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries – renowned for its stark beauty and abundant wildlife. Spanning more than 22,000 square kilometres in the semi-arid reaches of northern Namibia, it shelters a dazzling variety of mammals, birds, reptiles and other life forms, coexisting in a fragile ecosystem shaped by seasonal changes and water availability. At its heart is Etosha Pan, the remnant of a vast inland lake whose springs and waterholes attract vast herds of animals – elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, springbok, gemsbok, and the predators that follow in their wake. While presenting a record of Etosha’s past and present, this volume also serves as a valuable guide, providing practical advice, as well as describing active waterholes and the animals that can be seen there, recommended self- drive routes for prime game viewing, and accommodation options within and beyond the park.
