Britain S Railways In Transition 1976 90

A wonderfully evocative selection of unpublished images as John Evans explores this fascinating period of change in Britain's railway history.

An extensively illustrated history of the transition from steam to diesel and electric traction, and the last few decades before privatization. Jim Blake took a huge number of pictures capturing both the dramatic changes and decline of the railways pre-1997, both in the London area where he lived and around the country. This book provides a photographic history of the period, covering all aspects of the railway and its operations. It portrays the process of coming to terms with the post-Beeching, post-steam era, before a change of political will brought more rail investment. The volume looks not only at locomotives and trains, but also the overall railway scene during a tumultuous era.

This publication describes the activities of the European Conference of Ministers of Transport during 1998 and sets out the Resolutions and Reports approved by the Council of Ministers of Transport during that year.
