It is widely recognized that travel and tourism can have a high environmental impact and make a major contribution to climate change. It is therefore vital that ways to reduce these impacts are developed and implemented. "Slow travel" provides such a concept, drawing on ideas from the 'slow food' movement with a concern for locality, ecology and quality of life. The aim of this book is to define slow travel and to discuss how some underlining values are likely to pervade new forms of sustainable development. It also aims to provide insights into the travel experience; these are explored in several chapters which bring new knowledge about sustainable transport tourism from across the world. In order to do this the book explores the concept of slow travel and sets out its core ingredients, comparing it with related frameworks such as low-carbon tourism and sustainable tourism development. The authors explain slow travel as holiday travel where air and car transport is rejected in favour of more environmentally benign forms of overland transport, which generally take much longer and become incorporated as part of the holiday experience. The book critically examines the key trends in tourism transport and recent climate change debates, setting out the main issues facing tourism planners. It reviews the potential for new consumption patterns, as well as current business models that facilitate hyper-mobility. This provides a cutting edge critique of the 'upstream' drivers to unsustainable tourism. Finally, the authors illustrate their approach through a series of case studies from around the world, featuring travel by train, bus, cycling and walking. Examples are drawn from Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas. Cases include the Eurostar train (as an alternative to air travel), walking in the Appalachian Trail (US), the Euro-Velo network of long-distance cycling routes, canoe tours on the Gudena River in Denmark, sea kayaking in British Columbia (Canada) and the Oz Bu

33 years of change on the East Coast Main Line. From diesels to electrics, this comprehensive double disc DVD set takes you from Kings Cross to Edinburgh through the years. Disc One: Our visit to the East Coast Main Line starts at Kings Cross in 1975, when all trains were diesel powered. Main line services were in the hands of the iconic Deltics and Class 47s, with the occasional visiting Peak. Suburban services were provided by DMUs and Class 31s, hauling compartment stock. We see the electrification of the suburban services, including the Finsbury Park to Moorgate route, and the last Eastern Region passenger trains over the LT Widened Lines. The extensive remodelling of the approaches to Kings Cross, in the second half of the 1970s is also featured. Moving north there is considerable coverage of the diesel era at Doncaster, York, Newcastle and Edinburgh and also a visit to Scarborough. At Edinburgh we see Class 47s operating the Glasgow 'Push-Pull' service. The coming of the HSTs is followed by the progressive electrification between London, Leeds and Edinburgh, using Class 91 locomotives. Disc Two: Our story continues into the era of privatisation and includes the use of Class 90 locos on Leeds services. We see the introduction of the GNER livery plus Eurostars and the unique Class 89 in service. Later we see Virgin HSTs and Voyagers on Cross Country services as well as various other liveries applied to Sprinters and Pacers. We see First Capital Connect livery replace the WAGN colours on London suburban services. Hull Trains' Class 170s and Class 222s are featured, as well as leased Class 180s. Grand Central's new service to Sunderland is seen at Kings Cross. Finally we see the GNER livery modified and subsequently replaced, following the takeover of the franchise by National Express - East Coast in 2007.
