Description

Scotland's railways are undergoing significant changes, with new trains and electrification spreading across the Central Belt. The rural routes remain largely unchanged, but now marketed as "Great Scenic Railways" by ScotRail. The introduction of new trains has brought faster journey times, while older traction is being withdrawn or repurposed. Electric Multiple Units have been transferred north from London to address stock shortages, and freight locomotives are appearing on passenger workings. The train operating companies are also adopting veteran designs like HSTs and Class 73s to modernize their fleets. This book explores the recent developments in Scotland's railways, taking readers on a journey through some of Britain's most scenic lines and showcasing the colorful liveries on display on both freight and passenger trains.
