Many towns and routes benefited from better services than others and the reasons for this are studied, along with the changes in commercial and operating policies that occurred over the years. The more important trains were given names, some of which became well known to the general public and conveyed a romantic image of rail travel that is unknown today: the 'Night Scotsman', the 'Cornish Riviera', the 'Irish Mail', the 'Atlantic Coast Express', the 'Night Ferry', the 'Sunny South Express', the 'Thames-Clyde Express' and the 'Silver Jubilee', to name a few. This book will be of interest to railway enthusiasts, transport and local historians, and for the modeller it provides an invaluable reference for the various sections of line and the stock and locomotives used at any particular time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 224 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good with tear\/repair \u0026amp; some fading to DJ\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OPC","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (300)","offer_id":40537843990637,"sku":"9780860935360","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/products\/9780860935360.jpg?v=1675774106","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/british-main-line-services-in-the-age-of-steam-1900-1968-9780860935360","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
