CAPITAL TRANSPORT ONLINE NEWSLETTER

I hope this newsletter finds you well. There will be updates each time a new book is imminent, together with a link to it on our website, so this newsletter is for information only.

Books planned for publication this year (dates to be confirmed) are:
The Story of London’s Underground updated reprint for 2026. This is the 2019 edition with coverage added for the period since that appeared but no other changes. As always with these reprints, whether you will find it worth while to buy a copy depends on the publication year of the version you have.
Expected April.

Served by Brighton’s Red Buses – produced by Capital Transport for Heathfield – is a companion album to Served by Southdown. It depicts in a collection of top quality photos and detailed captions the buses operated by BH&D and Brighton Corporation between 1950 and 1971. Expected May.

Served by London’s Red Buses will be a similar album on London for the period from 1933 to 1968, when the mass introduction of one-man operated single deckers began.
Expected July.

Building and Operating the DLR, by Antony Badsey-Ellis and John Glover, is an all-new book detailing the construction of the various sections of the Docklands Light Railway, its operation and rolling stock. Expected October.

The London Swifts will, we hope, come out in the run up to Christmas and follows on nicely from The London Merlins, published last year.

In the meantime, a stock check at the warehouse has found a small number of copies of a few books that have been out of print for a while. These have been added to the website and include The Last Years of the General, Underground Heritage and Slam Doors on the Southern.
