The author rightly says this book shows “what a place of interest and activity it used to be”, this is a book with much to fascinate.

An interesting read. I loved the cover and the title. The historical element definitely makes this a different read to current true crime books. I enjoyed the way each case or killer was given its own chapter which made referring back easier when I wanted to. I enjoyed it.

"Your best research to all aspects has shown determination to produce a record of times lost to what I refer to as 'The Good Days'. This work will prove to be an exceptional research volume for personal study, and students alike."

This is the latest in Matthew Wharmby’s series on the various London bus types, and is similar in style and content. There is comprehensive text covering the history of the type, followed by full details of the introduction changes and final demise. It is copiously illustrated throughout. The period covered was one where much of the variety of liveries was largely supercede by overall; red, but it is interesting to see that even with this restriction variety did survive.

This photographic volume looks at the relatively new London Overground system, its origins and changes since its inception in 2007. The book is arranged into chapters covering each Overground route. Well reproduced photographs accompany a brief summary of each route’s history. As expected Class 378 units dominate the photos at a variety of locations on each of the Overground lines. As well as Class 378, the photos also feature LUL 1972 and S7 Stock, as well as LO Classes 172, 313, 315, 317, 350, 375, 390, 455, 456 and the newest units to appear, the Class 710s. An interesting facet is that some of the routes feature freight traffic, with Classes 37, 66, 86, 90 appearing in the photos. Photos of the infrastructure also feature throughout the book. This is a well laid out general overview of this interesting system. Recommended for those interested in the more recent London urban rail scene.
