Passenger Trains in the North of England features over 270 black and
white pictures and takes the reader northbound from South Yorkshire
and Cheshire to the Scottish Borders. Also covered in detail are a
wide selection of pictures from Cumbria, West and North Yorkshire
among others. We see main line expresses, branch line and local
trains, plus special workings running along today’s railways and
lines that have faded into history. Steam, diesel and electric powered
trains are pictured right across the North of England including
industrial and city views plus a great selection taking in the highly
picturesque locations of the northern hills and Dales. Embracing a
period of 65 years the book features images from as early as 1957
right through the late steam era up to the present day. The stars of
the book are obviously the trains of the past, but just as important
are the top photographers who have kindly provided these high-quality
pictures for your enjoyment. While the author has sneaked a few of his
own efforts in, the main contributions come from the great names of
the railway photography world including Gavin Morrison, Les Nixon,
Peter Fitton, John Whiteley, John Cooper Smith and others.
