About the Author

As you would expect from a book in the Nostalgia Road series, the author writes from some considerable experience in the subject. Robert is an expert on classic vehicles of all kinds and has an extensive photographic collection, in addition to his own preserved vehicle, a 1957 Ford Consul. He is an Assistant Editor of Vintage Roadscene magazine published by Ian Allan Publishing. He now lives and works in the lovely Eden Valley, mid-way between the Lake District and the North Pennines. Alan Earnshaw is a professor of modern history (transport) and a respected author/lecturer/broadcaster on the subject. On leaving school began a commercial apprenticeship and trained as an engineer with the David Brown Group, working on all kinds of transport projects, from high speed trains, commercial vehicles, helicopters, naval and merchant ship-building, racing cars and tractors. He has also had a life-long interest in railways, even working as a Chief Executive for a local authority-owned railway company in the rail privatisation era. He has also acted as an advisor to the UK government, to local authorities, preserved railways and film and television companies.
