Description
This book provides a comprehensive history of British Rail, detailing its creation in 1948 and its evolution over the decades. It examines the challenges faced by the organisation, including public perception and operational struggles. Wolmar highlights how British Rail, often viewed negatively, was actually an innovative force that contributed significantly to the UK's transport system. The narrative covers key developments, successes, and failures, ultimately illustrating the complexities of state ownership in rail transport.
