Britain's Railways in Transition 1976-90

Following his previous volume looking at the years from 1965-75, John Evans records the way in which Britain's railways moved from the post-steam era to the foundations of the railway system we know today. From Weymouth to Aberdeen and from Yarmouth to Aberystwyth, he tells the story in colour of the decline of the old goods train, the advent of bold new liveries and the domination of the HST units. He also examines the growing importance of heritage lines and the end of many familiar diesel types, such as the Peaks, Westerns and Deltics.
