Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the grand railway systems of London during the Victorian era, particularly their development and operation. The capital of England saw enormous growth in rail networks during this period, leading to the construction of many iconic terminal stations, some of which continue to be central to London's transport system today. The author provides a detailed overview of twelve of these grand stations, describing their design, special features, and the operations of the individual rail companies using them. There are insights into the engineering challenges overcome during the construction of these stations, and their ongoing operation and management. The author compares statistics on passenger numbers and revenues for each company, which derived the vast majority of their income from passenger fares. The book includes a wealth of data on construction costs, share prices, and dividends, providing a fascinating insight into the nancial structures of these companies. This book is a valuable historical record of the development and operation of London's rail network during one of the most important periods of expansion in its history.
