Driven by the sudden realisation that steam had all but disappeared on his 'local' GE line, David Christie set about initially recording the London termini, but was then spurred on to record as much as possible on the whole of BR before it was too late.With the earliest image captured in September 1962, and the latest coming with the August 1968 last runs, the author offers a wonderfully nostalgic look back at the final days of steam power on Britain's rail network, taking in a diverse range of locations - from London to Carlisle, Newcastle, central Scotland, Shrewsbury, Salisbury, and the Isle of Wight - to capture a variety of locomotives in full colour.Featuring such events as the last express services using A4s in central Scotland, and the last BR express services from Waterloo, David Christie's superb collection of photographs offer a tantalising look back at a time now past.

The Bluebell Railway is the premier preserved line. Some eighteen visits were made by David Christie, mostly in the transformative 19691972 period when the line was changing from a sleepy little branch to one with bigger engines. With an array of incredible unpublished photography covering the heyday of this iconic line, from 1964 to 1993, Christie offers a wonderfully nostalgic and brilliantly evocative record of this wonderful period in the life of the Bluebell Railway.

From author David Christie's home town in Essex, the Green Line route 721 (by RCL) was the usual way of getting to London - into Aldgate, one of his haunts as a young spotter in the '50s. From there a walk along to Bank, Aldwych, Trafalgar Square then Whitehall to Parliament Square, returning via the Embankment, invariably followed. This route was generally repeated when, in 1967, he started photographing LT buses. The author was able to capture the last of the RTLs in service, and on later trips to concentrate on the Routemasters. Also featured is the Vintage Route 100, using a 1930-built ST, which started in 1972.With a stunning array of superb photographs, this is a wonderfully evocative and nostalgic look back on an iconic period in London's transport history.

Starting with a day trip (by air from Blackpool) in 1970, this book covers the rest of the decade with visits in 1971, 1972, 1976 and 1979. The island was a fascinating place for a transport enthusiast, with the traditional Douglas Corporation buses, horse tramway, Manx Electric Railway and the steam railway - not forgetting the Snaefell Railway and the lovely old Steam Packet Co. ships. These traditional ships were the main loss in later years, but changes had also occurred prior to David's final visit, with the loss of the Douglas livery (all buses now being under a 'National' fleetname) and the rationalisation of Douglas railway station.With a range of interesting views and fascinating subject matter, Isle of Man Transport in the 1970s will appeal both to those who have visited the island and general transport enthusiasts.

The London to Brighton run, held each year by the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society, is a key date in the diary of any vintage vehicle enthusiast or member of the preservation community. David Christie attended the run on a number of occasions between 1968 and 1987, and the images included here document the wonderful variety of commercial vehicles that could be seen - all captured in stunning full-colour photography. Vehicles featured include buses, steam wagons, heavy lorries and some lighter vehicles. These images were captured at various spots along the route, finishing at the sea front in Brighton.Immensely evocative and immaculately preserved, these photos act as both an important historical record and a triumphant celebration of our motoring heritage.

The deregulation of the bus industry in 1986 led to the formation of new bus companies in Central Scotland such as Clydeside, Kelvin, Strathtay and Magicbus (Stagecoach). These companies seem to have hit on the idea to use redundant London Routemasters and to provide conductors to speed up services.During the next few years these were a common sight in Glasgow, Perth and Dundee and were duly recorded by the author. Some 240-odd operational RMs were involved, with over fifty additional vehicles for use for spares. Most of the buses received a complete repaint by LT before being delivered to Scotland - and the new liveries were a sight to behold! This 'invasion' didn't last for long, though, and all this came to an end in 1990-2.

This book covers many variants of the long-lived Leyland PD marque, photographed throughout Britain from 1967 into the 1970s. Coming from the south, the author was more familiar with the AEC and the more throaty sound of a PD2, even from London’s RTL’s, was a touch exotic. These are featured before the author documents buses down to the south coast and in the Midlands , before journeying into true Leyland country in Lancashire and Yorkshire before finishing in Scotland. The Author originated in Romford, Essex. He was born there in 1943 but relocated to Scotland in 1973. All photographs are in color from the original slides, which have been digitally restored.
