Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Its an exciting time on Scotlands railways, with new trains meaning faster journey times. The popular InterCity brand has been revived and electrification has spread across the Central Belt. The rural routes have changed little, but are now marketed by ScotRail as Great Scenic Railways.Older traction is being withdrawn or cascaded elsewhere, but this is proving less than straightforward. Electric Multiple Units have had to be transferred north from London to cover stock shortages, while loco haulage survives in Fife to alleviate rush-hour overcrowding. Freight locomotives have appeared on passenger workings. The train operating companies have also turned to veteran tried-and-tested designs such as HSTs and Class 73s to move forward.This book studies the recent rail developments north of the border, as we journey from the cities to some of the most beautifully scenic lines in Britain, showcasing the colourful liveries on display on both freight and passenger trains. Gordon Webster examines, in this highly illustrated book, the changes that have been seen on Scotland's railways. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The railway lines of the West Highlands of Scotland are famous the world over for their illustrious history and unparalleled scenic beauty. Linking Glasgow with Oban, Fort William and Mallaig, the lines managed to survive the axe of Dr Beeching, whose infamous report forced the closure of almost a third of Britain's railways in the 1960s. With a detailed look at the routes, their workings and rolling stock since then, Webster examines how the West Highland network has gone on to prosper to the present day. Despite Beeching, British Rail's rationalisation, privatisation, fluctuating freight traffic levels and economic downturn, the network retained its unique infrastructure in the modern age. Today the use of modern traction, together with the return of steam-hauled trains, has added yet another dimension to this wonderful scenic route.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The city of Glasgow, formerly one of the largest industrial centres in the world, was once responsible for building about one-quarter of the world's railway locomotives. This was complemented by a massive urban railway network: the second largest in the UK. However, the Beeching Report of 1963 inevitably took its toll on Glasgow. This book examines the changing face of Glasgow's railways ever since that infamous report, starting with the period of rationalisation and industrial decline that followed. It also explores the revival enjoyed in the last few decades, with lines reopened and modern rolling stock introduced. Furthermore, with Glasgow hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games, it looks at the emphasis being placed on the railway as further development work takes place.
