The last years of the twentieth century saw considerable changes to the
railway scene in County Durham, including ECML electrification, the
demise of the coal industry and the introduction of modern rolling
stock. This book shows how the railway scene in this part of North East
England changed during that time. The coverage starts in the late 1980s
and continues to the turn of the century and beyond. Richard Allen's
stunning photographs encompass the traditional boundaries of the county,
including those parts that subsequently became part of Cleveland and
Tyne and Wear.
