Mountfield Line Since 2000
Passengers travelling on the Hastings Line, between Battle and Robertsbridge in Sussex, may well be surprised to observe a clearing in the forest where railway sidings have been laid. From here, into the woodland, a boundary gate gives access to a single track of railway: the Mountfield Line. Built in Victorian times as a private company railway to a gypsum mine, the track passes through pleasant and varied scenery. For years the trains were operated by the company’s own shunting locomotives. During the 1990s this way of working came to an end, when main line locomotives hauled their loads over the entire line for the first time. This era of operation by the freight companies EWS, GBRf and Freightliner is portrayed in this book. A wide range of locomotives are pictured, tackling the fierce 1 in 40 uphill gradient on the Mountfield Railway and their workings are seen on the main line too. Railtours have also visited, as well as passing steam and diesel excursions trains, and these are featured here.Tucked away and unseen by most, Chris Livings explores the rich variety of trains that have visited the Mountfield Line over the last twenty-five years.

Mount London
Did you know that an invisible mountain is rising above the streets of the capital - and, at over 1,400 metres, it is Britain's highest peak? This ingenious new book is an account of the ascent of Mount London by a hardened team of writers, poets and urban cartographers, each one scaling a smaller mountain within the city - from Crystal Palace (112m) to Primrose Hill (78m) - until the accumulative climb exceeds the height of Ben Nevis. The essays and stories in Mount London unpeel London's history, geography and psychogeography, reimagining the city as mountainous terrain and exploring what it's like to move through the urban landscape. Ascents of London's natural peaks are offset by expeditions to the artificial mountains of the city - the Shard (306m), the chimneys of Battersea Power Station (103m) - and the search for 'ghost hills' in the back streets of Whitechapel and Finsbury. With contributions by Helen Mort, Joe Dunthorne, Sarah Butler, Inua Ellams, Bradley Garrett and many more, Mount London is a unique and visionary record of the vertical city.
