Michael Baker's histories of London Transport are enduringly popular. He is able to really capture the mood of the era with wistful nostalgia and the inclusion of some fascinating contemporary anecdotes, along with detailed information about the history and development of London Transport from its earliest times, through the dark years of World War 2, through to the increasing optimism of the 1950s and beyond. He has compiled titles on the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s and they are available here as one book to provide a definitive look at the fortunes of London Transport across three decades.
An album of early and rare 1950s colour photographs (almost all previously unpublished) of road and rail transport in London during an era of unprecedented change.
This book should be of use to undergraduates reading modern British history, as well as students of modern British culture and society.
This remarkable colour album of 1950s and 1960s images covers non-express trains working in and out of London termini, along with a selection of feeder services operating in roughly a 40 mile radius of the Capital. The trains featured are therefore semi-fast passenger, suburban passenger and freights. The advantage of casting the net beyond services in and out of London itself is to increase the variety of locomotive types and diesel/electric units featured, making the book a thoroughly interesting read.Throughout, photographs with identifiable landmarks, for example stations and signal boxes, are used wherever possible. Furthermore, every effort has been made to show a wealth of material which has never been seen before.London Local Trains in the 1950s and 1960s is an in-depth and well-researched account of the London railway scene, that meticulously charts their progress throughout the mid-twentieth century.
This title is a revealing pictorial survey of the great variety of ex-London Transport PSVs that found service outside the Metropolis.
Travel under the streets of London with this lavishly illustrated exploration of abandoned, modified, and reused Underground tunnels, stations, and architecture.
