The Rise and Fall of CT Plus Yorkshire - Alex Clough - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Rise and Fall of CT Plus Yorkshire - Alex Clough - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Initially operating on contract work, CT Plus Yorkshire had a huge impact during its last decade of significant expansion before closure in summer 2022. From its core network of school and accessible transport work, the company was responsible for keeping the region moving by filling the void left by other bus companies, with the main focus of community transport at its heart. This allowed many local communities to continue to be connected even when profits were not in the company’s favour.This book takes a behind-the-scenes look at the main point of expansion for this operator, reminisces over its major growth, and looks at what went wrong and how gaps were filled when the operation closed.

InterCity Cross-country Rail Services - Andy Gibbs - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

InterCity Cross-country Rail Services - Andy Gibbs - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

To most people InterCity means the network of trains linking the UK with London, but there is a far more interesting and often overlooked network that avoided London: Cross-country.The North East–South West route of British Rail linked Newcastle with Plymouth and Cardiff via Birmingham; added to this were the Manchester and Liverpool services that headed for the south coast and the odd train that crossed from one route to the other. Birmingham New Street was the hub for all of these services, with the exception of some services from East Anglia and the East Midlands. Over the years the North East–South West route became cross-country and extended its range well into Scotland.This book illustrates the diverse range of starting points and destinations used. Photos are mainly from the 1970s and 1980s, plus a few from the 1990s prior to privatisation and more standardisation than BR could ever have hoped for.

Madeley Through Time - Tony Lancaster - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Madeley Through Time - Tony Lancaster - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Madeley parish is situated in the north-west corner of Staffordshire. It is set in an attractive landscape of hills and meadows. The present appearance of the parish is both revealing and deceptive in terms of its historical past. The medieval church and its surroundings, the Old Hall and Madeley Pool all suggest a parish that has developed over many centuries and is typical of rural Staffordshire. Based on the presence of coal and iron and helped by a network of railways, nineteenth century Madeley saw substantial changes. By the middle of the twentieth century there was little of that industrial activity left. Its hub, the coal mine, closed and the village of Leycett virtually disappeared. This book goes on a visual journey through the parish and attempts to illustrate both continuity and change.

City of London Pubs - Johnny Homer - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

City of London Pubs - Johnny Homer - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The City of London, the fabled ‘Square Mile’, is the financial hub of world trade. It is also an area with a rich and almost tangible history, a history that is reflected in its colourful and varied selection of pubs and watering holes. The city can boast one of the greatest densities of pubs anywhere in the world, and these pubs range from seventeenth-century taverns dating from just after the Great Fire of 1666 through to swish and hip modern bars catering for today’s modern ‘city worker’. Amazingly there has been no dedicated book about the City of London’s pubs in over forty years. Given the area’s growing residential population, the hundreds of thousands who work there during the week and the huge number of tourists that visit every year, the time is right for a new guide to the city’s diverse and myriad pubs.

Manchester Ship Canal Through Time - Steven Dickens - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Manchester Ship Canal Through Time - Steven Dickens - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Manchester Ship Canal was a huge engineering achievement. It included seven swing bridges and the aqueduct at Barton, and helped turn the cotton-producing capital of Great Britain into an inland seaport. This was a feat many at the time believed could not be achieved.

Burnham-on-Sea & Highbridge Through Time - Tony Etheridge - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Burnham-on-Sea & Highbridge Through Time - Tony Etheridge - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Think of Burnham-on-Sea, and of course you immediately picture sun, sand and sea, and perhaps a donkey ride. This has been the case ever since Victorian times when day trippers and holidaymakers made their way to this pretty Somerset seaside resort. We all love a day at the beach, but we don''t often think about how the seaside might have changed over the years. Burnham-on-Sea has gone through many changes over the last hundred years or so. Highbridge has also seen many changes during that time. In the early days it was what we would now call a transport hub. It had a main line railway, a branch line railway, a busy wharf, a bustling weekly market, and of course the main A38 Bristol road running through the town. Today just the main road and main line railway remain, the branch line into Burnham has gone, the market is no more, and the wharf was infilled many years ago.

Railroads around Chicago - Mike Danneman - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Railroads around Chicago - Mike Danneman - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In his 1914 ode to Chicago, Carl Sandburg referred to the city as the ‘Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation’. What was true over a century ago is still true today – Chicago is the heart of America’s railroads. A dizzying array of rail lines radiate out of Chicago serving as vital gateways for goods from the Midwest to the rest of the nation and the world. An amazing variety of railroads also interchange huge amounts of tonnage at many yards surrounding the city. Amtrak uses Chicago as its national hub, and Metra commuter trains convey over a quarter of a million people from home to work and back on weekdays. On average, over 500 freight trains and 700 passenger trains travel through Chicago every day.This colourful tour, lavishly illustrated with Mike Danneman’s stunning photographs of Chicagoland, offers highlights of this exciting Midwestern city.

Locomotives In and Around Worksop - Steve Liptrot - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Locomotives In and Around Worksop - Steve Liptrot - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Worksop has until recent times been at the heart of the East Midlands coal-mining and power industries, creating a vital rail hub linking the numerous Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire collieries with the power stations along the Trent Valley that formed the backbone of the UK’s electricity generation capability.While there has been a massive downturn in freight train movements through the region since the demise of coal mining and coal-fired power stations, there remains a fascinating set of train movements through Worksop and its environs. In particular, many of the early types of Diesel-Electric main line locomotives, such as Class 20s, 31s, 37s and 47s, can still be observed. These form an interesting contrast with more modern traction of the Class 66, most commonly used in the East Midlands area.With a wealth of previously unpublished images, this book provides a visual record of the changing locomotive movements in and around Worksop in recent years.
