Travel back in time on a journey across Britain`s main-line railways on the eve of nationalisation. The views from the carriage windows are conveyed through finely detailed, h&-drawn maps, each a rich reminder of the linesides bursting with activity in an era of technical progress, glamour & prestige. Speed along the LNER`s racing track from King`s Cross to Newcastle upon Tyne & Edinburgh; from next-door St Pancras through the Peak District to Manchester; from Waterloo to Plymouth (with some pleasant seaside diversions on the way); from Euston through the industrial heartlands of the West Midlands & the north-west to the seaport of Liverpool; & from Paddington along Brunel`s `bowling green` railway to Bristol, Exeter & Penzance. Mile by Mile faithfully reproduces the three original route maps drafted in 1947 by S.N. Pike, & adds a new one for the Great Western Railway to complete its coverage of the so-called ` Big Four` railway firms formed in the aftermath of the First World War. New introductions describe how the ` Big Four` came about, the passengers & goods they conveyed, the key personalities that shaped them
- engineers, managers, even publicists
- & the trains & locomotives that gave each its unique character. Climb aboard, sit back & take a ride to a special period in the history of Britain`s railways.
