UK.YEOVIL,SOMERSET.OXFORD PUBLISHING CO.,1996. UK, small Qrto HB+dw/dj, 1st edn.NMINT/NFINE.No owner inscrptn, no price-clip to dw/dj.Scenic, pictorial, colour decorated dw/dj with 3 colour photographs to rear wrap; with negligible shelf-wear to bottom edge and minimal light creasing to top edge with a small closed tear to head of spine/backstrip - no other nicks or tears present.Top+fore-edges bright and clean - no thumbing - contents tight and near pristine.Publisher's, unblemished, plain black cloth bds with bright, stamped gilt letters to spine/ backstrip and immaculate, plain yellow eps.Small Qrto (approx 10" tall x 7.50" wide), 6-224pp includes b/w photographic illustrated title-page, contents list, an author intro, 19 chapters, profuse b/w train/ locomotive+scenic photographs throughout and an index. During the steam age some time honoured express passenger trains became a familiar and much-loved feature of British life, their names well known to many, even today: the 'Flying Scot', the 'Cheltenham Flyer', and the 'Golden Arrow', to name just one from each of the 'Big Four' railways. What was interesting though was why some services were particularly honoured,f or example with named trains and special stock, while others were neglected.There were often special reasons of prestige, competition and local business and political interest for the way that railway passenger services developed and for the patterns of service that were maintained.Sometimes this led to particular cities, towns and ports receiving much better services than other, similar destinations.In looking at the heyday of steam railways there is a certain fascination in the variety and complexity of cross-country passenger trains, such as those that linked Birkenhead with Dover, and Aberdeen with Penzance. After WW2 big changes came with the development of business travel and peak summer traffic. These served to alter some trains and timetables that had survived remarkably unchanged from the end of the 19thC. British Main Line Services is the first book to detail the many changes in passenger services over the years, along with the commercial and operating policies that influenced their development.The high point of the steam age in Britain was probably 1913, the author contrasting this period with what followed.The story concludes with the last steam-worked main line service on BR (British Railways), between London, Waterloo and Bournemouth and the final vestiges of steam in the North West in 1968.The more important trains were given names, some of which became well known to the general public and conveyed a romantic image of rail travel that is unknown today: the 'Night Scotsman', the 'Cornish Riveria', the 'Irish Mail', the 'Atlantic Coast Express', the 'Night Ferry', the 'Thames-Clyde Express' and the 'Silver Jubilee' to name a few.This book will be of interest to railway enthusiasts, transport and local historians, and for the modeller it provides an invaluable reference for the various sections of line and the stock and locomotives used at any particular time..

A book which looks at the changes that took place in main line railway passenger services during the 20th century. There were often special reasons of prestige, competition, local business or political interest for the way that railway services developed and their patterns of operation were maintained. All of these are discussed. The book details the main line services of all railway companies in England, Scotland and Wales. The heyday of steam railway operation in the years prior to World War I are compared with the inter-war years, World War II and the final services of the 1960s. The complex cross-country services such as Birkenhead to Dover and Aberdeen to Penzance are described along with the operation of famous trains such as the "Flying Scotsman", the "Royal Scot", the "Sunny South Express", the "Night Ferry" and the "Cheltenham Flyer". Information is also provided on the pre-Grouping railways of 1900-1922, the "Big Four" of 1923-1947 and the nationalized network, 1948-1968.
