Description
The West Midlands have long been at the heart of Britain's railway network. From busy InterCity services connecting London to the North East and South West, to CrossCountry trains traversing the country, this region has played host to a diverse range of passenger services. The area has also seen a significant presence of freight workings, with many types of cargo passing through its yards. A variety of locomotives have visited the region over the years, with Saltley shed serving as a key hub for many different types of engines. The West Midlands have also been home to a range of multiple units, including both diesel and electric vehicles. This book explores the rich variety of traction that has passed through the region, featuring a comprehensive collection of photographs that span several decades. With its extensive collection of images, this volume provides a unique insight into the history of railway transport in the West Midlands.
