Description

The Sixties Railway by Greg Morse is a portrait of a pivotal period in British railway history. As the country moved towards greater modernity and technological advancements, British Railways faced significant challenges in adapting to changing times. With the line closures came new uniforms, liveries, and a final breath of steam as the company sought to break even and build a new business from the old. This book takes us through the turbulent ten-year period that began with financial uncertainty and ended with BR poised to launch the fastest dieselpowered train in the world. It is part of the Britain's Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of Britain's past. By exploring this era, you can gain a deeper understanding of the Sixties Railway and its significance in British history.
