Paperback. Condition: New. In 2021, as part of a programme called Shaping for Excellence, bosses at the University of Leicester made redundant numerous scholars in what was simultaneously an attack on academic freedom and trade union organisation. The authors of Shaping for Mediocrity not only had front-row seats in the campaign against these mass redundancies, they were in the ring - both as targeted employees and as trade union officers and negotiators. Shaping for Mediocrity tells the inside story of these attacks and the campaign against them. It situates this story within a longer history of struggle to make the university a place where critical thinking is possible, showing how events in Leicester are both reflective of higher education in the UK following four decades of neoliberal 'reform' and a particularly egregious instance of the increasingly authoritarian management of public institutions such as universities.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Southern Railway is closely associated with its electrification programmes, but in July 1947 the board authorised the construction of three mainline diesel-electric locomotives. These entered service between 1950 and 1954. Their work on the Southern Region was mostly on the South Western mainlines to Exeter or Bournemouth. Both Nos 10202 and 10203 spent a week on the South Eastern section working the 'Golden Arrow' and 'Night Ferry' services at different times. In the summer of 1955, all three locomotives were transferred to the London Midland Region and remained there until they were withdrawn in December 1962. They worked predominantly on West Coast Main Line on passenger duties that ranged from local services between Euston and Bletchley to the prestigious 'Royal Scot'.This new 'Southern Way Special' draws heavily on original archive material from the Southern Railway and BR and covers the background story to their authorisation, design and construction and their entry into service. Individual chapters detail the whole of their service life firstly on the Southern and then on the London Midland, the first book to do so. The final chapter looks at their utilisation, works visits, annual mileage and fuel consumption, making use of data collected by BR at the time but which has remained unpublished until now.Each chapter, wherever possible, uses previously unpublished photographs. These are accompanied by detailed captions drawing out particular points of interest, such as technical or equipment or other detail differences. Two Appendices are included: one covering the main dimensions of the three, the other is an individual locomotive history providing the reader with a concise and detailed history of each of the trio of locomotives.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The 22 Class 55 'Deltics' brought new levels ofspeed and performance to services from King's Cross to the north of England and Scotland, starting in 1961. The locomotives brought the journey time to Edinburgh down to just six hours, and maintained this over the next twenty years, gaining a huge following amongst railway enthusiasts in the process. Even as late as 1979, they were breaking records, when they took 'The Hull Executive' from King's Cross to its first stop at Retford at an average speed of 91.4mph. This book illustrates their life from the debut of the prototype locomotive Deltic on the East Coast Main Line, all the way through to the final rail tour on 2 January 1982. The key stages of their working lives are covered, including liveries, names, modifications, and withdrawals, with a collection of high-quality, previously unpublished photographs. It concludes with the farewell event at Doncaster works in February 1982 and the passing into preservation of six class members. This book charts the story of the 22 Class 55 'Deltic' locomotives, from their 1961 debut to their 1982 farewell. It explores their record-breaking speed, iconic services, and devoted following, with rare photos covering liveries, modifications, and the preservation of six surviving engines.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The BR diesel locomotive types, that under the TOPs renumbering scheme became Classes 44s, 45s, and 46s, are best known by their nickname of 'Peaks'. This is derived from the first ten locomotives being given the names of British mountains. These machines originated under the Modernisation Plan of 1955 as BR's Type 4 design. The Class 45s and Class 46s had slightly more powerful engines compared to the Class 44s, with the Class 46s having Brush rather than Crompton Parkinson Ltd electrical equipment.The Class 45s became the main motive power on the Midland main line for many years, while the Class 46s were used heavily on cross country services between the North East and South West. The Class 44s were at first employed on the West Coast main line but were latterly were relegated to freight duties mostly being based at Toton depot in Nottinghamshire.This new study covers the three types from their design and inception through to withdrawal and preservation. It draws extensively on original source material from a number of archives, and is lavishly illustrated with over 200 black and white and colour photographs almost all of which are being published for the very first time.
