Download or read book Dennis Buses and Other Vehicles written by Andy Goundry and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dennis company has been building vehicles since 1895, making it the oldest continuously producing British manufacturer. From its origins in a small Guildford shop, the company has grown to become a major bus manufacturer with its products selling around the world. This book discusses the company's highs and lows, through two world wars, challenging markets and ownership changes. It documents the vehicles produced and their innovative design features, from early cars and street-cleaning machines to vans, buses, trucks, fire engines and ambulances. First-hand descriptions of how, and why, some of the company's most successful products such as the Dart, Trident and Enviro buses evolved. It explains why their once market-leading fire engines are no longer made. It also analyses the reasons why some products were less successful and explores what happened to parts of the company that were sold over the years. Finally, the company's future opportunities and challenges are considered. The author, Andy Goundry, has not only drawn on his own personal experience of almost twenty years of employment with the company but he has drawn on what is left of the company archives, private collections and first-hand accounts, to produce this book as a salutation of over 125 years of continuous manufacturing.

Book excerpt: In New York City, a new World Trade Center has arisen from the ruins of the old World Trade Center, but it's not long before it too collapses into flames. Arab suicidal bombers drive six tractor trailers loaded with explosives into the World Trade Center, prompting an American invasion of Syria in retaliation. A guerrilla war is being fought in Syria against the United States. The American people are outraged at the staggering number of American casualties, and President Weed's position in public opinion polls declines in the midst of the presidential election campaign, making his reelection not certain. Adding to his problems is the presence of a vituperative antiwar third party candidate. In an attempt to win the election and to win the war in Syria, Vice President Regina Ropey, President Weed's mentor, devises a plan to completely eradicate Islam. To weaken the Arabs' faith in their religion, Ropey proposes that the sacred stone of the Muslims, the Black Stone of Ka'ba, be destroyed. Will Ropey's bold plan work, or is the United States on a collision course with a dark fate?

Download or read book East Kent Road Car Company Ltd written by Richard Wallace and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Kent Road Car Company Ltd - A Century of Service, 1916-2016, celebrates one hundred years of a bus operation that is still very much recognizable for its origins. Unlike so many proud names that have diasppeared in recent times, the old identity of East Kent Road Car Co Ltd is still carried as the legal lettering on the Stagecoach-owned buses operating in the area today. This book takes the reader on a journey through those one hundred years. It covers the initial developments of the 1920s and 30s, the challenges of World War II, the halcyon days of the 1950s and the descent into the economic struggles of the 1960s. Nationalization and an eventual move back into the private sector are also covered, finishing with a description of the innovative approach to new services developed by the local Stagecoach management today. With over two hundred illustrations, both black and white and colour, many previously unpublished, this book provides a wide-ranging historical and pictorial record of the buses, artefacts and operations of the East Kent Road Car Company. Fully illustrated with over 200 colour and black & white illustrations, many previously unpublished.

Download or read book Lothian Buses written by Fred Kerr and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Edinburgh has always been innovative in its provision of transport ranging from the end of the 19th century when it leased land for the creation of a cable tramway network through operating the same when the lease ended in June 1919 to the current era when it trials a range of vehicles as it seeks to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2030. The company’s maintenance standards are sufficiently high that after 15 years of daily service withdrawn vehicles are valued by the second hand vehicle market and continue in further service with operators for a number of years before being scrapped. while 15 years is the normal working life with the company, this is being shortened as new vehicles are introduced to meet the zero carbon commitment. These changes have increased between 2011 and 2022 and the book illustrates them by photographs of the transport fleets – both buses and trams - operated during that period of change. The operator tries to remain loyal to one supplier but changes within the industry have resulted in a number of different vehicles being purchased; the rationale of the change in supplier is documented as the company returns to previous suppliers. The local transport scene has also seen services disrupted as operators providing services from outside the city boundaries have discontinued services leading to the city operator creating subsidiary companies to provide replacement services. These operate buses initially operated by the city fleet albeit adopting different livery styles that identify their relationship to the city’s transport network.
