PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
From streamlining and speed records to iconic engines and electrification: a fascinating and expert history of the ‘Big Four’, the railway companies which ruled the rails of a golden age in British railway history. Formed in 1923 and running until nationalisation in after 1947, discover the stories and character of the GWR, LMS, LNER and Southern Railway which took over from the pre-Grouping management of the railways and, to many, represented a brief but glorious era of train travel. Fact-packed chapters explore each of the four great railway companies, discussing their achievements, co-operation and highlighting the high points of their services. From GWR’s high-speed Bristolian Express; to Southern Railway’s scenic Devon Belle: a nostalgic tour to delight any railway enthusiast.
