Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public transport has now been around for over 150 years in one shape or another and this book takes a nostalgic look at the heritage and story of Buses and Trams. Tramways when operated in the 19th century and beyond formed a large part of the community in towns and cities, helping to get people around in style using steam and electric technology. Trams over time were however up against the might of the internal combustion engine, in the shape of the emerging petrol and diesel powered buses. These newfangled vehicles didn’t require rails or overhead cables and could go just about anywhere. There was also of course the electric trolleybus that sat somewhere between a bus and tram. The tram has thankfully made comebacks over the years and buses have evolved with the times, so join us looking through the early years to more recent times. This book is full of facts, information about the manufacturers, insight about the classic buses and includes some superb archive pictures.

Download or read book The Golden Age of Coach Travel written by Peter Robinson and published by Bloomsbury Shire Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coach travel had a huge impact on Britain in the twentieth century, the charabancs and buses of the early twentieth century began to challenge the railways for supremacy --tourist resorts, at first distressed by what to do with the influx of vehicles and unruly holidaymakers, soon adapted to capitalize on these new opportunities. After the war, the package tour (satirized by several 'Carry On' films) came into its own, thousands of people travelling on coaches of varying luxury to destinations at home and abroad. In this fascinating history of long-haul bus journeys, leisure and travel historians Peter Robinson and Harry Cameron describe the evolution from horse-drawn omnibuses to charabancs and on to the motor coaches which carried people on holidays and business in the UK and abroad, examining how public demand changed the design of the buses and the deals that bus operators offered. They also explain the challenges presented by private car ownership in the later twentieth century and the role of buses in popular culture.

Book excerpt: Seven years ago, Sebastian Munro changed his life immensely by transitioning and starting a graduate degree at the University of Ottawa. Now that his degree—and his cash flow—has run its course, however, he finds himself on a Greyhound bus back to his suburban town outside of Toronto in early 2006. Though his high school friends are well aware of his transition, many have yet to see Sebastian face-to-face. Instead of dreading the reunion, Sebastian looks forward to it—until his parents announce their divorce, his former best friend won’t speak to him, and he realizes he has become a stranger in a place that was once so familiar. Rather than returning to Ottawa, he is forced to stay in Durham Region when he witnesses a crime at the local restaurant run by a family friend. Until the trial finishes, and until an academic job comes through, Sebastian must learn to stay exactly where he is—whether he now wants to or not. When he reaches out to his former best friend’s older brother, Garrison, their budding relationship shapes and changes everything Sebastian thought he knew about his previous life, secret identities, and the power of home. Now that Sebastian has found a way to survive in his hometown as the person he always knew himself to be, he realizes he faces a decision especially as an academic job opportunity emerges. Does he continue with his new fantasy life in his hometown, thereby leaving his former academic and trans community aside—or does he go back to the life that made him who he is now and leave his family and friends one more time?

Still, they press on, eventually becoming closer while bonding with young relatives through a love of fine dining. Now the couple faces new and weighty challenges.

Realizing they are out of shape and slipping mentally, Charli and Pud check their BMIs and immediately decide they need to change their ways. With a goal of becoming healthy sooner than later, the couple embarks on a roller-coaster ride through calorie counting, label reading, and laborious exercising. But when Pud begins making mysterious phone calls and acting strangely, Charli cannot help but wonder if more problems are lurking around the corner. The Golden Age of Charli continues the delightful tale of the energetic, friendly, and positive McAntics as they cruise through their retirement years and discover the consequences of too much of a good thing.
