This is the first encyclopaedia of British railways to deal comprehensively with their impact on British life from the 17th century to privatization in the mid 1990s. Over 600 entries by 88 expert contributors describe all aspects of operation, working, and management, including the social, technical, economic, and geographical changes the railways brought and continue to bring about.If James Anderton is hounded out of his job, then future generations may well conclude that the Britain of 1987 was indeed ... perhaps two of the most fondly remembered scenes in her entire career -- Garbo appears virtually alone.
