After many years of operation with Arriva Trains Wales at the helm, May/June 2018 saw the issue of a new franchise to KeolisAmey. Their successful bid to run Wales and Borders Railways was based on an ambitious plan to deliver a sea change on that country's railway network over the next five years or so. Their headline plans include: - Replacement of virtually all existing rolling stock over that period together with, not surprisingly, a complete new corporate identity. - The management of the South Wales Metro project through to delivery. (Keolis have experience in the UK with both Docklands in London and Manchester's Trams). - Wide sweeping changes (improvements) to service frequency across the whole country with some new stations and routings planned. This book charts the KeolisAmey.Cymru story, from corporate vision on takeover to reality on delivery, with the shape of Welsh Railways transformed for the twenty-first century.

John Jackson, a lifelong transport enthusiast, opted for early retirement at the turn of the Millennium - and swapped the rat race for the rail tracks. Since then, he has travelled extensively on the British rail network with his camera as a constant companion. He continues to compile a photographic collection reflecting the UK rail industry that already extends to tens of thousands of images. He also has an interest in the history of his local county of Bedfordshire and John and his wife Jenny, together with their trusty cameras, have spent hundreds of hours meandering around their home county visiting each one of the parishes in the county, recording the churches.
