Description
Lancashire's Railways 1978-Present is a photographic survey that captures the changes to Lancashire's railway network over more than 40 years. From the end of the regional BR Rail Blue era in 1978, through sectorisation and privatisation, the book documents the variety of motive power in operation, including diesel and electric locomotives, DMUs, EMUs, and industrial railways. The book covers Lancashire's network from its northern boundary to the West Yorkshire border, as well as traditional towns now part of Greater Manchester. A comprehensive photographic record of this period will appeal to those interested in the history of railways in Lancashire. With over 40 years of railway scene coverage, this book provides a unique insight into the development of the county's rail network.
