The Glorious Years of the LNER London & North Eastern Railway

The London & North Eastern Railway existed from 1923-1947 and presided over one of the most exiting periods in British railway history. From the non-stop 'Flying Scotsman' to 'Silver Jubilee', 'Coronation' and 'West Riding Limited' streamlined trains, the company was continually innovating and received accolades as a result. The Glorious Years of the LNER explores the period through over 400 superb colour and black-and-white images and informative captions. Divided into several sections, the book looks at locomotives, carriages, agons and road vehicles. Pictures included are taken on main lines from London to Scotland (Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow), London to Sheffield and Manchester, and London to Ipswich and Norwich, with cross-country routes from Grimsby to Manchester, Cheshire Lines Committee undertakings between Manchester, Liverpool and Chester, as well as the Waverley route from Carlisle to Edinburgh, not forgetting the 'West Highland' line from Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig.
