Southern region through the 1960s : year by year

Books
The 1960s are an iconic period in the history of the rail network in Great Britain; with Rationalisation in progress and the effects of the Beeching Report beginning to be felt, it was a tumultuous time for the nation's railways, and the area served by Southern Rail was no exception. As steam-powered locomotives began to be phased out and the era of electric and diesel traction began, the variety of locos on offer was unparalleled. With an easy to navigate format and unpublished images, Michael Hymans takes the reader on a nostalgic year-by-year journey through the 1960s, providing a fascinating document of Southern Rail over the course of the decade.
