Book Review: Yorkshire Railway Disasters by Richard M. Jones This book describes one of Yorkshire’s less desirable claims to fame, that of being the scene of more accidents than any other county in the UK.

In this case, it is a memorial to eight people who died after a train derailed at Wath upon Dearne in South Yorkshire. www.railadvent.co.uk/2026/01/book-review-york... #AmberleyPublishing #BookReviews #derailment

Book Review: Pier Railways and Tramways by Martin Easdown This book describes the many piers that could once be seen around the coast of Britain, most of which have been consigned to history.

That compares with Birnbeck pier at Weston-super-Mare, which is connected to a pier on a small island in the Bristol Channel. www.railadvent.co.uk/2025/12/book-review-pier... #AmberleyPublishing #BookReviews #reviews

Book Review: Class 126 DMUs: The First Inter City Units in Scotland by Colin J. Howat This book provides an account of Class 126 diesel multiple units in Scotland, from their introduction in 1956 until their withdrawal in 1983.

At first sight, the two units on the left are of two different classes, but they are both Class 126s with different front ends. #AmberleyPublishing #BookReviews #reviews #scotland
