For the third and final portrayal of the southern railway in the years of World War 2, this exciting volume aims to present something rather different to the reader. With a further selection of unseen images of the railway in its damaged and destroyed state, this title gives an informative and real-life picture of the Southern during the World War 2 era. In addition to these previously unseen images, this wartime special takes an in-depth look at the human effort involved through records of the bravery of the staff during these hard times. The citations included in this volume make for a humbling experience and a truly inspirational read outlining the courage, bravery, and outstanding efforts of those working on and linked with the Southern Railways during the devastating times of World War 2.

The definitive history of these fascinating trains, which spans from their inception in the 1955 Modernisation Plan, through to their final demise in the scrap yards of South Wales two decades later.The development of the Blue Pullmans involved political and management decisions, the trials and tribulations of the actual design and the sometimes difficult involvement of outside design consultants, before their eventual entry into service on the London Midland and Western Regions.It was never a completely settled service. Staffing and labour relations issues, mechanical problems and an eventual concentration of all the sets on the Western Region put too many special trains in one place, whilst at the same time the Pullman brand and the willingness of the travelling public to pay supplementary fares to travel on them was finding less favour.This comprehensive history of these trains includes plans and photographs, many seen here for the very first time. No stone has been left unturned in the quest to tell their full story, one of ambition, hope and eventual despair, and sadly one without a happy ending.

This new title, produced by expert Kevin Robertson, concentrates on the coaches of the GWR in great detail. There has been a renewed interest in the rolling stock of the old Great Western Railway in recent years. While several books exist describing the history of the stock, this is the first title produced illustrating the subject in color. Wherever possible, individual vehicles are seen, none in preservation, and all the carriages depicted either built by the Great Western, from companies absorbed by the GWR, or to a GWR design. Because of these deliberate limitations, the illustrations are particularly appealing and include Hawksworth and Collett stock, with a feature on the Super Saloons, special duty vehicles, the Toplight design, restaurant cars, auto trailers, as well as camping coaches and a limited number of former passenger vehicles in departmental use. This new title includes carefully researched captions as well as diagrams and lot and running numbers.
