RAILWAYS: NATION NETWORK AND PEOPLE (PB)

In this book, Simon Bradley explores the world of Britain's railways, the evolution of the trains, and the changing experiences of passengers and workers. Using fresh research, keen observation and a wealth of cultural references, Bradley weaves from this network a remarkable story of technological achievement, of architecture and engineering, of shifting social classes and gender relations, of safety and crime, of tourism and the changing world of work. The Railways shows us that to travel through Britain by train is to journey through time as well as space.
