A facsimile edition of Bradshaw's fascinating guide to Europe's
rail network. Bradshaw's descriptive railway handbook of Europe was
originally published in 1913 and was the inspiration behind Michael
Portillo's BBC television series 'Great Continental Railway
Journeys'. It is divided into three sections: timetables for
services covering the continent; short guides to the best places to
see and to stay in each city; and a wealth of advertisements and
ephemeral materials concerning hotels, restaurants and services
that might be required by the early twentieth century rail
traveller. This beautifully illustrated facsimile edition offers a
fascinating glimpse of Europe and of a transport network that was
shortly devastated by the greatest war the world had ever seen.
This DIY manual covers everything you need to know about automotive
diagnostic fault codes.

February 16, 2016: motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman suffers a
major road traffic accident in Portugal, breaking his hand and
ankle and shattering his left leg. It's unclear if he'll ever walk
properly again, let alone ride a motorbike. Bed-bound in a foreign
hospital far from home, a lengthy recovery period awaits. For the
son of a touring film director, used to being on the road in one
way or another since childhood, it's an unwelcome change. Charley's
life has always been all about the challenge: but now he's facing a
challenge of a different sort. Told in his own words, Long Way Back
is a story of a recovery. More than that, however, it's a story of
a life lived without fear; from child actor to
painter-and-decorator to television presenter and professional
biker, always on the lookout for the next adventure. It's the story
of how an unconventional upbringing led to an unconventional
adulthood - with all its highs and lows, epic journeys and broken
bones. Mostly, though, it's the story of one man and his
motorbikes.

With the end of the Second World War, it was not long before
increasing wealth, cheaper cars, and social pressures made a family
car the aspiration of thousands. Ford, Hillman, Standard, Morris
and Vauxhall became household names, and the streets of Britain's
suburbs began to fill with modern-looking saloon cars, designed to
transport mother, father and 2.4 children with ease, if not speed.
This illustrated book looks at the British cars that were available
to the post-war family, and also some of the foreign makes that had
an important place in the market, and which had a great influence
on the British-made cars that followed.

The North London Line from Richmond to Broad Street, and later, to
Stratford was the capital's Cinderella railway for many years. An
official report in 2006 called it 'shabby, unsafe, unreliable and
overcrowded.' It was threatened with closure under the Beeching Axe
in the 1960s and again in the 1970s, escaping on both occasions due
to organised and effective protest groups. Today it thrives as a
key part of Transport for London's Overground network, and the
story of how it survived closure threats and lack of investment is
essential to an understanding of the politics of public transport
in London over the past half century
The remains of the world's most famous passenger liner, RMS
Titanic, were discovered off the coast of Newfoundland in 1985,
seventy-three years after it sank. Since then there have been
numerous deep-water expeditions to the wreck site, yet little has
ever been revealed about the details of these operations. Now, in
this fully updated book, Eugene Nesmeyanov recounts all the major
Titanic expeditions from 1985 to 2021, taking us on a journey
alongside the scientists, cinematographers and other specialists
who have visited the legendary wreck 21/2 miles below the surface
of the North Atlantic. A thorough analysis of the sophisticated
technical equipment used is presented, along with historical,
biological and other scientific findings, and rare material from
official archives and private collections.

editions have been published to date, amassing sales in excess of
half a million books.
The Last Years of North West Steam contains over 250 stunning
colour and black and white pictures that document the steam era
drawing to a close in North West England. The area is taken as
Crewe to Chester in the south and Carlisle in the north, visiting
places in between such as Manchester, Liverpool, Stockport,
Warrington, Wigan, Southport, Bolton, Bury, Preston, Blackburn,
Burnley, Blackpool, Fleetwood, Lancaster and Carnforth. Beautiful
scenes have been captured across the area by a number of
highly-skilled amateur photographers. The images feature
locomotives at stations, sheds, industrial sites and charming
countryside locations. A good portion of the book features rare
colour pictures and these are complemented by high-quality black
and white photographs. This collection features many of the
locomotive classes employed in the area, such as Stanier's
Pacifics, Class Five and `Jubilee' 4-6-0s and 8F Class 2-8-0s,
Hughes 2-6-0s, Fowler `Royal Scot' and `Patriot' 4-6-0s and 4F

& North Western Railway 0-8-0s are also included, as are
engines built for the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and the
Great Central Railway. `Foreign' locomotives from the London &
North Eastern Railway and Great Western Railway further illustrate
the diversity of the motive power scene. The images are accompanied
by informative captions, describing the locomotives, the scene and
other interesting details.
