The LNER Handbook : The London and North Eastern Railway 1923-47 Paperback / softback
by David Wragg
Paperback / softback
Description
Renowned for its express locomotive Mallard setting a world speed record (126mph) for steam locomotives that endures to this day, the London & North Eastern Railway was the second largest of the 'Big Four' railway companies to emerge from the 1923 grouping and also the most diverse, with its prestigious high-speed trains from King's Cross balanced by an intensive suburban and commuter service from Liverpool Street and a high dependence on freight.
Noted for its cautious board and thrifty management, the LNER gained a reputation for being poor but honest.
Forming part of a series, along with The GWR Handbook, The LMS Handbook and The Southern Railway Handbook, this new edition provides an authoritative and highly detailed reference of information about the LNER.
