The story of the Manchester trolleybus network is unusual. The city's Transport Department did not want trolleybuses and strenuously resisted their introduction but when forced to do so, gave the city a system of the highest quality. Joint operator Ashton-under-Lyne often found itself swept along in Manchester's wake. In complete contrast, the other transport undertaking involved, the Stalybridge, Hyde, Mossley and Dukinfield Transport and Electricity Board wanted to operate trolleybuses but never managed to do so. The war caused major changes to Manchester's plans, bringing trolleybuses to places that not even their most enthusiastic supporters had envisaged. The vehicle fleet, too, was unusual. The City Council's policy of supporting local industry caused the Transport Department to buy most of its buses from Gorton-based Crossley Motors which employed many local people, as did its much larger parent company, Crossley Brothers Ltd. Ashton followed suit but no other trolleybus operator had a large fleet of Crossleys.The fascinating story is told by respected authors Chris Heaps and Michael Eyre. Illustrated with a wealth of colour and black and white photographs, route maps and comprehensive fleet and service details, it is an enjoyable read which will bring back many memories not only of the trolleybuses but also of the city's streets and suburbs.

Multiple units are the unsung heroes of the modern railway system. Although they make up the main form of rolling stock for the majority of rail passenger services operated worldwide, particularly in high-density inner-city and urban traffic, they see much less media coverage than the more popular locomotive types. The many advantages of these units, as opposed to locomotive-hauled trains, include higher capacity, less track damage and lower operating costs, making them an ever more popular choice for modern, cost-conscious railway operators in Great Britain and around the world. Illustrated with more than 180 photographs, this book details the history of the major unit types that have operated on the UK’s rail network, beginning with the earliest Victorian-era steam railcars and the first late-Victorian experiments with electric-powered traction, and going right up to the modern hybrid-powered multiple units currently under development. The story is told through a selection of photographs, class details and tables listing the major unit types classified by propulsion method and generation.

The Western Region of British Railways has always held a special appeal for railway modellers. Formed in 1948, the Western Region carried on the traditions of The Great Western Railway more or less unchallenged until the regions were abolished in the 1990s. Modelling the Western Region provides all the advice you need to model your own railway layout based on this fascinating region and era. This book considers the historical background of the Western Region; it reviews available ready-to-run and kit-built steam and diesel motive power; explains Western Region signalling practice; discusses rolling stock typically used on the Western Region and, finally, provides practical suggestions for branch and main line layouts. An essential reference book, fully illustrated with 203 colour, 46 black and white photographs and 19 illustrations, for all modellers of all abilities and in any scale, who wish to model the Western Region.
