Venture publications 3 FORTHCOMING TITLES SUPER PRESTIGE 40 WEST WALES INDEPENDENTS PART 2 This is the second book covering independent bus operators in West Wales and follows on from the previous volume featuring Cardigan and Newport. In this book, the author, Les Dickinson will attempt to describe the introduction and development of the passenger transport providers of the northern foothills of the Preseli hills. He will focus on two areas, Crymych and Maenclochog exploring in detail the independent operators which worked throughout these villages. In the chapters on Crymych the author details the histories of three larger independents and one smaller entity. The three larger are: David John Jones, Edwards Brothers and Midway Motors (formerly Rees & Phillips). The smaller, and short-lived operator featured is Frenni Coaches (Beardwell & Collins). The pages describing the bus scene in Maenclochog cover three early pioneers in the region: Arthur Williams of Maenclochog, Ivor Williams of Trelech and Morgan Brothers of Llanfyrnach and their companies’ progression.

VP489 AVAILABLE MARCH 2020 £18 221 DEEPDALE ROAD PRESTON - HISTORY OF A BUS GARAGE Regular Venture author Mike Rhodes explores the history of this famous address and this book is the result of a more than 50 years fascination with the depot and its operations. Originally a horse tram operation, Preston commenced electric tram services from the newly built Deepdale premises in the early 1900s, and the depot housed all the facilities the tramway needed including the power station, along with the workshops and car sheds. Later converted to motor bus operation, the garage remains in use today and is the hub of the city’s Rotala operation. VP490 AVAILABLE MAY 2020 £25 SUPER PRESTIGE 43 MERTHYR TYDFIL Michael Yelton completes his study of Welsh Municipal operators with his seventh book, this time on Merthyr Tydfil. Unlike other smaller South Wales municipalities, explored in previous volumes, Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council started running buses while there were still trams in the town which were owned and operated by an outside private company. The trams already ran on the two most lucrative routes when the Council began running buses and it took 15 years before the local authority was able to purchase the tramway undertaking and to replace the trams with buses. This 154 page book includes a full fleet list and is well illustrated throughout with both black & white and colour photographs and maps to help bring this story to life. VP492 EXPECTED MAY 2020 £20 4 Venture publications RED & WHITE SERVICES LTD THE COMPANY, ITS SERVICES AND VEHICLES TO 1953 This book tells the first part of the history of this fascinating family-owned company.

The few companies which were involved in their manufacture are described in detail, as well as the firms who produced the most familiar examples which served the London stations and airports. This 190 page volume is illustrated with around 300 pictures, including some very rare vehicles. VP486 £20 IN STOCK NOW HALLMARK COACHES Back in 1968 Eric Atkinson teamed up with local businessman John Barnett to start a chauffeur-car company for transporting airline crews. Atkinson wanted his young son, Mark, to be referenced in the company name and as they were aiming for a quality service “Hallmark” became the obvious identity for the new operation. It was eventually to become one of the most highly regarded brands in luxury coach travel. This book tells the fascinating story of this coach company. A4 softback, illustrated in both colour and black & white. VP484 £20 IN STOCK NOW BULLOCKS COACHES Bullocks Coaches of Cheadle in Cheshire has been one of the North West’s premier operators for over 90 years.

  • Metro-Cammell Diesel-Electric Pullman Trains by R
    Metro-Cammell Diesel-Electric Pullman Trains By R. P. Bradley On 24 June 1960 a demonstration run of BR's diesel-electric Pullman train took place between Marylebone and High Wycombe. The six and eight-car trains were designed and built by the Metropolitan-Cammell Carriage & Wagon Co. for the Pullman Car Company, to be operated on the LMR and WR respectively. The Railway Gazette used an interesting phrase as it reported the new arrivals; "The term de-luxe applied by the British Transport Commission to the new diesel- electric Pullman multiple- unit trains which begin operations shortly in the London Midland and Western Regions of British Railways suggests an over-abundance of rare but desirable qualities which are not necessary for life." The British Transport Commission’s Press Release for 23rd June 1960 described them as: “These 90 mph de-luxe diesel expresses - there are five of them altogether-are of an entirely new type designed to bring a fresh conception of main-line railway passenger travel to Britain, with superior standards of comfort, and a personal service of' meals and refreshments for all passengers.” A brief look at the internal appointments of these trains certainly lends weight to those ideas. One of the 8-car Western Region units on the Bristol Pullman. The reasoning behind the introduction of these units was basically to attract the businessman to rail travel; or perhaps to return to rail travel, for BR had by 1960 to be on a competitive footing with air transport. The new Metro- Cammell pullmans were prestigious trains, and turned out in a striking blue and white livery.

  • Passenger Information During Snow Disruption December 2010
    Passenger information during snow disruption December 2010 A Rail passenger Information during snow disruption December 2010 Headline Findings 1. The National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website appears to have coped well with very high volumes 2. The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies (TOCs) 3. The online journey planners on TOC and third-party websites did not generally reflect the contingency timetables in operation 4. Tickets continued to be available for sale online for many trains that would not run 5. Station displays appear to have reflected formal contingency timetables, except for Southeastern 6. Station displays and online Live Departure Boards did not always keep pace with events 7. The NRE call centres appear to have provided good information, but queuing times of 11 or 12 minutes were common. 1 The National Rail Enquiries appears to have coped well with very high volumes We saw no evidence that the NRE website crashed or was slower than usual, despite a large spike in volume (Chris Scoggins reported that the volume on 2 December was twice the previous record peak on 7 January 2010). 2 The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies NRE had to advise passengers not to use the journey planner for enquiries about East Coast, Southeastern and South West Trains. This was a significant failure, with three scenarios: 2a Although the journey planner showed services from a contingency timetable for East Coast on 1 and 2 December, it also showed services from the base timetable that were no longer running.

  • Competition Issues in Road Transport 2000
    Competition Issues in Road Transport 2000 The OECD Competition Committee debated competition issues in road transport in October 2000. This document includes an executive summary and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by Mr. Darryl Biggar for the OECD, written submissions from Australia, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Turkey, the United States, as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. The road transport sector, an essential mode of transport in OECD economies, is conventionally divided into two, largely unrelated, parts – the road freight industry and the road passenger industry. The sectors under discussion – trucking, buses, and taxis – have quite different characteristics and scope for competition, which reflect inter alia differences in the timeliness and economies of scale and scope in operations. Trucking can sustain high level of competition and to some extent buses as well while there is some debate as to how and what form of competition can be introduced in taxis. As in the air transport industry, international trucking is governed by restrictive bilateral treaties. Most countries have liberalised their domestic trucking sector, removing controls on entry and prices. In the bus industry, long-distance bus services are liberalised in some countries while intra-city or local buses are very rarely liberalised. The taxi industry appears at first sight to be competitive with many buyers and many sellers.

    2021 Book News Welcome to our 2021 Book News. As we come towards the end of a very strange year we hope that you’ve managed to get this far relatively unscathed. It’s been a very challenging time for us all and we’re just relieved that, so far, we’re mostly all in one piece. While we were closed over lockdown, Mark took on the challenge of digitalising some of Venture’s back catalogue producing over 20 downloadable books of some of our most popular titles. Thanks to the kind donations of our customers we managed to raise over £3000 for The Christie which was then matched pound for pound by a very good friend taking the total to almost £7000. There is still time to donate and download these books, just click on the downloads page on our website for the full list. We’re still operating with reduced numbers in the building at any one time. We’ve re-organised our schedules for packers and office staff to enable us to get orders out as fast as we can, but we’re also relying on carriers and suppliers. Many of the publishers whose titles we stock are small societies or one-man operations so please be aware of the longer lead times when placing orders for Christmas presents. The last posting dates for Christmas are listed on page 63 along with all the updates in light of the current Covid situation and also the impending Brexit deadline. In particular, please note the change to our order and payment processing which was introduced on 1st July 2020.
