The London and North Eastern Railway, or LNER as it was familiarly
known, was one of the Big Four companies that took control of Britain's
railway network following the "Grouping" in 1923. This network
represented a challenging mixture of mainline and rural passenger
routes, suburban services, and freight and industrial lines across the
east coast of England and Scotland. Despite this challenge, the LNER
became famous for its style, speed, and efficiency, with record-breaking
high-speed routes capturing the public's imagination, supported by
iconic locomotives such as the Flying Scotsman and Mallard.
Full of beautiful photographs, this is a perfect introduction to one of
Britain's best-loved railway operators during the Age of Steam.
