Description
The West Country railway network has undergone significant changes over the past forty years. Various locomotives have been introduced, including the HST, Class 57, Class 66, Voyagers, and DMUs. This book aims to bring back memories of traction once common on the rails of Devon, offering a visual comparison of what was once the mainstay of daily services through to the gradual modernisation of traction and rolling stock. The book also pays tribute to the HST in the West Country, which is being replaced by Hitachi Class 800 electro-diesels. The present infrastructure will remain for the time being, with re-signalling on hold again. This publication provides a nostalgic look at the evolution of railway transport in Devon, allowing readers to reflect on the changes that have taken place. With its visual comparisons and tribute to the HST, this book is an interesting read for anyone interested in the history of railways in Devon.
