Train Doctor Troubleshooting with Diesel & Electric Traction

The book takes you from the 1970's period, with its first generation Diesels, through to privatisation in 1994 and the electrified East Coast main line. This is a story of troubleshooting, with many different types of modern traction over a period of twenty-five years, an insight in to the trials and tribulations of keeping the railway running, in all weathers and at all costs. Author Roger Senior later worked with electric traction, both before and after privatisation, on the East Coast main line, finishing his career with Great North Eastern Railway as the Resident Engineer for the refurbishment of the MK1V fleet known as the 'Mallard' project.
