Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there had been experiments with the use of a new form of transport - the ‘trackless tram’ (better known as the trolleybus) - during the first decade of the 20th century, it was in June 1911 that Bradford and Leeds became the country’s pioneering operators of trolleybuses. Some of the earliest operators were in Lancashire, northern England and Scotland; indeed Scotland can lay claim to having both the first system in Britain to close – Dundee in 1914 – and the last to open – Glasgow in 1949. This volume – one of four that examines the history of all trolleybus operators in the British Isles – focuses on Lancashire, Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Book excerpt: Belfast Transport is the story of public transport in Belfast from the horse buses of the 1860s to Metro, which was introduced in 2005. It is a fascinating story encompassing the change from horse buses to horse trams; the introduction of motor buses; thirty years of the trolleybuses; the closure of the tramways in the early 1950s; the closure of the trolleybus system in the late 1960s; and the total dependence on diesel buses for intra-urban transport in Belfast. The story is told mainly through pictures, with extended captions describing the vehicles themselves and their physical and social contexts. It covers the period of civil disturbances euphemistically known as 'the Troubles' from 1969, during which the Belfast Corporation and its successor, Citybus, lost members of staff, hundreds of vehicles, and millions of pounds. It covers managers from Andrew Nance to Werner Heubeck. Different men, different methods, but with the same purpose: to provide the best teansport that they could in the climate in which they operated.

Book excerpt: Accident Proneness: Research in the Occurrence, Causation, and Prevention of Road Accidents deals with concept of accident proneness. The concept has had a checkered career, from the early British work whose high scientific standard has been universally acknowledged, through a period when the concept was extended beyond the sound basis which had been laid, to a period of reaction when doubt was thrown on the very existence of such a notion. The book examines in detail the arguments brought forward by the proponents of both sides, and, more importantly, studies in detail the facts and figures quoted in support. The book is organized into two sections: the first deals with the validity and usefulness of the concept of accident proneness; the second discusses new statistical techniques to evaluate the concept of accident proneness. The book demonstrates the existence of personality-related behavior patterns, which make people differentially prone to traffic accidents. This book is an important contribution to an important field. It is written in a style which should make it understandable (and even enjoyable) to more than the psychological experts to whom it is addressed in the first place.
