Scotland's Lost Branch Lines - Where Beeching Got It Wrong

Sinossi

The infamous 'Beeching Axe' swept away virtually every Scottish branch line in the 1960s. Conventional wisdom viewed these losses as regrettable yet inevitable in an era of growing affluence and rising car ownership.
This ground-breaking study of Dr Beeching's approach to closures has unearthed – from rarely or never previously referenced archive sources – strong evidence of a 'stitch-up', ignoring the scope for sensible economies and improvements which would have allowed a significant number of axed routes to survive and prosper. Acclaimed railway historian David Spaven traces the birth, life and eventual death of Scotland's branch lines through the unique stories of how a dozen routes lost their trains in the 1960s: the lines to Ballachulish, Ballater, Callander, Crail, Crieff /Comrie, Fraserburgh, Kelso, Kilmacolm, Leven, Peebles, Peterhead and St Andrews.
He concludes by exploring a potential renaissance of branch lines, propelled by concerns over road congestion, vehicle pollution and the climate emergency.

    Who doesn’t have goals for themselves? As human beings, we are constantly setting goals, both personal and professional, so that we can grow and improve. Sometimes, the goals are just in our heads, and sometimes we write them down and even make vision boards to inspire us and remind us of our goals everyday. I’ve had plenty of experience with many different ways of goal setting, and plenty of experience with disappointing outcomes as I fail to reach the targets I set for myself. 
    Unfortunately, the truth is that few people rarely become successful at achieving every objective they set, and even then, success might not come in a timely manner. That’s where this book is invaluable. 
    After much trial and error in my research, I’ve figured out the best program to set solid objectives and how to push myself to achieve them every time. I have learned to be the most productive person I can be, and you can do the same. 
    Work to Reach Your Goals Now By Following the Four Most Important Aspects of Success 
    In this book, you will learn to:Set realistic, solid goals, whether they are big or small, and keep them in the forefront of your mindDevelop the discipline and good habits necessary for sweet successKeep your mind focused on the outcome until it is achievedManage a high level of productivity as you work to complete multiple objectives and establish loftier goals than you ever thought possible 
    In our busy world, solid goal setting and the knowledge to accomplish the goals you set is the one change that changes everything. Don’t waste any more time trying and failing to make progress toward your objective: learn the most effective ways to achieve your goals, so that you can set more.

    THE RISK IN LEADING A BUSINESS is the same as in piloting an airplane; namely crashing and burning. But what if you had an operating system to keep your business airborne until you wanted to land it? 
    How much time would that OS save you? 
    How much money? 
    Written by Bill Canady, the creator of the Profitable Growth Operating System, The 80/20 CEO: Take Command of Your Business in 100 Days is a detailed playbook for aspiring or accomplished senior-level executives who want to lead organizations in profitable strategic growth and to do so on demand, on track, on pace, and without surprises. 
    The reason that 80/20 is so valuable is that it is counterintuitive. We tend to expect that all causes will have roughly the same significance, that all customers are equally valuable, or that every bit of business, every product, and every dollar of sales revenue is as good as another. 
    The 80/20 Management Practice 
    Also known as the Pareto principle, 80/20 is a management concept based on a natural law: 80% of results come from 20% of causes. It is a tool used to prioritize and manage resources, focusing on the most important and impactful activities that generate the majority of results. The principle suggests that organizations can achieve significant improvement by focusing their efforts on the 20% of activities that generate 80% of their results, rather than spreading their resources non-strategically across all activities.

    An inspiring true story that blends life, leadership, and lessons learned  Throughout most of his life, Ethan Spelman felt like he was never good enough. Despite his friendly demeanor and perceived success, he was haunted by his past, controlled by his fears, and consumed by emptiness and loneliness. But destiny – disguised as an ill-timed business trip – ultimately changed the trajectory of his life, and led him to discover and then champion the life-changing power of leadership done right.  By immersing himself in leadership principles and practices and infusing them into his own life story, Ethan discovers that leadership can transcend lives – especially his own. As he works to incorporate leadership into all aspects of his life, he unleashes the leader within – and finds the courage and strength to come to terms with his past, overcome his fears, leave the loneliness behind, and move forward with confidence, conviction, and hope.  If you believe that real leadership is much greater than the titles we hold, seek to find the light in your own darkness, or long to discover the leader within, you’ll be inspired by this candid true story interwoven with powerful leadership lessons that have helped the author transform his life – and may help unleash the leader in you.
