The Times British Railways: The illustrated history of a national institution

by Julian Holland, Times Books

Written by best-selling author Julian Holland, this is the story of British Railways. From its birth in 1948 to its demise in 1994, it was both loved and loathed by the country’s hard-pressed travelling public (most of whom didn’t own a car). Take a trip down memory lane and discover the story of the rise and fall of a British institution.
