Running on Rails

This new title from the authors of 'A World of Rail', John Legg and Ian Peaty, takes us on a fascinating tour of Britain's rail-borne transport system, or rather systems, as it covers a wide variety of locations and gauges. The variety of rolling stock is a feature including of both passenger and freight vehicles. Locations range from London's Underground to the Bass Brewery in Burton-upon-Trent and from Ford's Dagenham plant to the whisky distilleries of Scotland. This is a book that takes the reader off the beaten track, over many years, to provide a wide variety of images from all sorts of unusual and rarely seen passenger and freight services the length and breadth of the country. Images from the earliest days of railways right up to the modern day scene are accompanied by informative text and detailed captions.
