The Eastern Region: British Railways in Colour (Nostalgia Road)

Category: Transport

With two main lines running north from London, the principal express trains raced out from King's Cross and Liverpool Street stations. Many of these were headed by the great LNER Pacifics and amongst some of the finest trains services on British Railways.

The Eastern Region also had a large number of secondary, branch-line and freight services, all of which brought a great variety for lineside observers. Using pictures taken back in the 1950s and 1960s, this book recreates the great days of Eastern Region steam.

The Authors

The name of Professor Alan Earnshaw will need little introduction to readers of railway books. The author of over 20 railway books and a lecturer in railway history, he has long believed in the need for a range of reasonably-priced books to re-tell the story of British Railways. In this book, with Kevin Derrick as picture editor, he strives to do just that.
