Most cases don't have transcripts unless there is some very significant reason for ordering them -- for example, when an appeal is lodged and the Criminal Appeal Office considers that it is justified. The reason is simply one of expense. It takes days, or even weeks, for them to be typed out and the cost is colossal. A transcript has to be officially ordered if it is to be produced at all. Its cost is likely to run to thousands of pounds.
Most of us have access to the records of court cases only when they are significant enough to be reported -- and then we only read them in summary form. If you're looking for a transcript of a case which doesn't raise an important point of law simply out of interest/curiosity, then I am afraid that you are doomed to disappointment.
