Ajouter au panierHardback. Etat : New. The popular image of railway travel during the Second World War is that of a sparse service of dirty and grossly overcrowded trains that were forever being delayed. The iconic 'is your journey really necessary' poster campaign is credited with discouraging the public from travelling by train. This book questions these assumptions and examines the mobility requirements of the British public during the war years and aligns these to the level of service provided by the railways. Throughout the war the railways were managed by the Railway Executive Committee (REC) whose members were all senior railway officers. The conflicts between the REC and the government in respect to controlling passenger numbers on the railway system, which was overcrowded with essential additional war related freight traffic, are examined; as are the propaganda campaigns aimed at restricting 'unnecessary' travel. The public's response to the travel restrictions are analysed to determine how railway passengers' attitudes and reactions corresponded to the publicly accepted mythology. Many British citizens did reduce their railway journeys, but for others who had previously had little need to travel by train, the exigencies of war resulted in them having to make long and often difficult journeys by rail.

Since retirement he has written articles for and edited the Southern Railway Group's magazine 'Southern Notebook'. To add to his technical and managerial qualifications he has been awarded a Master of Arts Degree in Railway Studies by the University of York. Peter's book Alfred Raworth's Electric Southern Railway has also been published by Pen & Sword. 30 b/w illustrations This book shows how the railway companies maintained their public service ethos despite the wartime government applying pressure to restrict passenger travel.

Ajouter au panierHardback. Etat : New. The Stroudley Brighton Terriers were one of the most successful designs of tank locomotive to run on the railways of Britain.They were introduced in 1872 and operated in main line service until November 1963, when ten members of the class were preserved both officially and by heritage railways.This volume tells the facinating story of there service and operational life, both on the main line and later when many of them had a further existence on light railways and in industry.John Scott-Morgan and Peter Steer have spent many hours reserching the interesting history of these Victorian survivors that operated long after there original lifespan on many railways across Britain.
