Progress is inevitable on Britain’s rail network, as older trains and locomotives are removed from service and either transferred, stored, or scrapped. As passenger numbers grow, there is a constant need to renew and refresh stock. With images captured across the network, in many locations and a variety of liveries, Adam Head celebrates the final years of second generation EMUs as they were phased out of main line operation. 'An interesting addition to most chapters is an image or two of the new replacement units.'-- "Model Rail Magazine, June 2025" 'Each chapter has its own narrative, followed by a selection of the units, showing the range of liveries carried. The 96 pages contains 180 colour illustrations which are well reproduced.'-- "Rail Express Magazine, April 2025" 'This is a clear and colourful volume, which will not only fill some information gaps for the more knowledgeable reader, but almost falls into a 'spotter' framework and so will equally appeal to the newcomer to the subject as an excellent-value primer. For those who can remember the Met-Camms and slamming doors... well, it's just going to make you feel old.'-- "Railway Modeller Magazine, October 2025" Adam Head is an East Anglian who has had a keen interest in photography and the railways from a young age. When he isn’t working, he can often be found out and about on the railways around East Anglia and other parts of the UK discovering new sights and trains.
