The railway scene in the county of Hampshire was dominated by the lines of the former London & South Western Railway, whose main routes to Portsmouth Southampton and Exeter all passed through the county. The LSWR also operated several secondary routes, such as the line from Alton to Winchester (now partly preserved as the Watercress Line) and branches, such as those to Bordon and Bishop Waltham. Other company's lines also served the county.

Сама книга является попыткой описать историю развития автомобильной промышленности в СССР. Почему попыткой? 128 страниц не самого большого формата – слишком мало для богатой (конечно, не такой богатой, как у стран Западной Европы, но всё же обширной и интересной) 90-летней (на момент написания) истории российско-советского автомобилестроения.

The W114 and W115 models were enormously successful for Mercedes-Benz, and their sales in nine years of production between 1967 and 1976 almost equalled the total of all Mercedes passenger models built in the 23 years between 1945 and the time of their introduction in 1968. There were many reasons for this success, but perhaps the most important was that Mercedes expanded the range to include a simply vast amount of variants including four-cylinder and six-cylinder petrol engines, four-cylinder diesels; saloons, coupes and long-wheelbase models. With around 200 photographs, this book features the story of the design and development of the W114 and W115 ranges. It gives full technical specifications, including paint and interior trim choices; includes a chapter on the special US variants; gives production tables and model type codes and explores the Experimental Safety Vehicles developed from these cars. Finally, there is a chapter on buying and owning a 114- or 115-series Mercedes.

Completing the authors' quartet on the railway companies before British Rail, this book covers the nation's second largest rail network - the London and North Eastern. The book examines the railway as a business, a means of communication and a carrier of goods. The main chapters are based on the work of experts, many of whom actually worked on the line. They are supplemented by shorter features containing extra information.
