This highly illustrated look at locomotive-hauled trains features a wide
selection of locomotive types on many different passenger duties. From
one-off special workings to day-to-day operations, the whole range of BR
and post-privatization locomotive-hauled trains are featured. These
trains range from the regular loco-hauled traffic from the early 1980s
to current times, with all the popular types of diesel and electric
locomotives shown, including Deltics, Westerns, Classes 20, 25, 31, 33,
37, 40, 56, 87 and many others.
Each historic photograph, most of which have never been published
before, is accompanied by an extensive caption, giving a comprehensive
overview of timetabled loco-hauled travel in Britain over the last 40
years. They are a historic record of the many changes that have taken
place as locomotive-hauled travel declined and, more recently, showed
something of a resurgence.
