London Transport was created in 1933 to coordinate the shambolic, overlapping transport systems of the capital, and for decades has striven to meet the challenges of organising London travel. This book presents the story of the organisation from its origins, through the upheavals of the Second World War, to TfL's biggest project - Crossrail.

This book celebrates the many styles of station building on the London Underground.

Step back in time to the golden age of railways. This is the story of Derbyshire's once-thriving rail network; a network of passenger and freight lines that criss-crossed the county at the turn of the 20th century.

Traces the history of the county's railway lines from their opening in the 19th century, their heyday around the turn of the century, and their closure in the 20th century.

Since the 1960s thousands of miles of track and hundreds of stations have been closed across Britain. This title traces 36 routes that it has long since ceased to be possible to travel by train but are nevertheless still rich in railway culture. It illustrates the journeys with pictures and ephemera of the railways.

Intended for both first-time visitors and returning tourists, this title offers a view of Ireland. Each card in this deck outlines a self-guided walking adventure, with a detailed map on one side and insider information on the other. An intro card details on and suggestions for using public transport, and information on local history and customs.
