Mainline Passenger Trains In And Around London Av Jamie Squibbs

Containing over 170 photographs, this book illustrates a new era of modern traction in and out of the capital at the start of the 2020s, covering all four corners of London and up to a 30-mile radius outside to give a wonderful blend of both urban and rural imagery. It covers every mainline Passenger operator that run services in and out of London and aims to give an up-to-date account of the most recent changes to both, liveries, operator and motive power. This is illustrated with 180 high quality images, most of which have never been published before, capturing the ever-changing rail scene and cityscape in and around London.With the Department for Transport's quest for newer, more reliable, modernised trains that are fully accessible, this work captures the final days of much life-expired rolling stock, livery transitions under new franchise arrangements and the introduction of the next generation of trains. This book is the ultimate enthusiast's compilation of the new era of trains in and out of London and covers an extensive range of traction some of which is now, or will soon be, confined to the history books.
