About this product
Product Information
This volume opens with the author's final months working on the East Coast route out of King's Cross, to give the background behind the entirely unintended decision to exchange the firing shovel for the ball-point pen. The final decade of main line steam on our nationalised railway system had begun to unfold and with it the increasing rundown of the steam fleet. Dieselisation introduced fresh challenges to staff of all grades. The fundamental changes created a major upheaval in how the industry was managed and operated. The early development of the new 25kv ac traction was to introduce even greater changes, commencing in 1960 with the north-east London electrification scheme which modernised the intensive steam suburban services working out of Liverpool Street station. The decade covered by this volume proved to be one of dramatic re-thinking by BR, following the announcement of the 1955 modernisation plan. The author was to be directly involved with the early dieselisation and electrification schemes introduced by the Eastern Region. Staff had to adapt to new working methods.Promotion to Westbury on the Western Region revealed a less than satisfactory situation had been inherited.It required early action to resolve, to achieve the benefits of effective cost management. Steam age attitudes still prevailed even with dieselisation almost completed. David's BR career came to an end in 1968 but it placed him in a strong position when he joined Foster Yeoman and became responsible for creating the Foster Yeoman rail system, where he developed their railborne stone traffic for the next six years. This book features an A5 format, 232 pages, 125 illustrations and a full colour perfect-bound jacket.
