Product Description
Throughout the history of Britain's railways there have been events, individuals and designs that can be regarded as conspicuous successes. The author brings his years of experience of the railway industry to bear on the subject of the success and failures. Some of the projects, which he identifies as failures, will undoubtedly resonate with enthusiasts, whilst others will prove controversial. However, all these propositions are well argued by an author who knows his subject and whose earlier books include Danger Signals and Danger on the line have sold very well. The milestone and millstones recorded in this book range in time from the earliest years of railways in Britain to the industry, as it exists in the first decade of the 21st Century.
