Amberley
Swindon Rail Scene
SWINDON has long held a fascination as a rail centre, especially in the years before the GWR’s famous Works closed. As this latest picture volume’s title suggests, the book aims to cover a significant period in Swindon’s railway heritage - 1971 to 1989.
Metro Matters
Remarkably, 2020 marked the 40th anniversary of the opening of the first stretch of the Tyne and Wear Metro in Newcastle. Colin Alexander is the author of this new book from Amberley about the light railway system.
1980s WR Freight
This new collection of photographs compiled by Kevin Redwood recalls the variety of freight trains on BR’s Western Region throughout the 1980s. During this period, much of the rolling stock was replaced by air-braked vehicles and a good variety of these have been captured, as well as some of the older vehicles which were on borrowed time.
