| Publisher Description: Warwickshire Railways is a fascinating account of the changes and developments which particularly characterized this stretch of railway. The struggles and battles between the various railway companiesthe L&B, TVR, LNWR, GWR and NWRfor supremacy over some of the Warwickshire branches are here evocatively depicted by detailed introductory texts to each section. Archive photographssome never before seen, period timetables, company advertisements, and loco-shed allocations also add to the atmosphere and vividly conjure up a picture of a mode of transport that has, sadly, long gone. This nostalgic collection will appeal to train enthusiasts, local historians, and the general public alike and is an essential guide to an important part of our railway heritage." |
