About this product

Product Information

The Woodhead Route from Manchester to Sheffield has achieved almost mythical status, not only thanks to the Woodhead Tunnels, but also because of the unique EM1 and EM2 electric locomotives. Inspired by the first 'Railway Mania' of the 1830s, the Woodhead Route was the first railway built to link Manchester with Sheffield. After many false starts, and even a change of chief engineer, it was finally opened in 1845. Anthony Dawson explores here the history behind one of the most iconic and beloved railway lines in the world, drawing on a range of topics including the various attempts to get the line built; how it was built; the running of the line and accidents; the three tunnels; memories of the Woodhead Route and life after closure. With more than a hundred illustrations throughout, this illuminating volume offers a fascinating overview of the line that will appeal to enthusiasts young and old.

    Excellent reading!

    The Woodhead route is probably one of the the most intriguing in Britain: It was a great feat of engineering in the construction of it, and probably the most short-sighted in the destruction of the same! The route was arguably the fastest over the Pennines between Manchester and Sheffield, and in 1954 was the most modern electrified main line in Britain. Yet twenty seven years later (YES, 27) it was to be consigned to history. WHY??? READ IT FOR YOURSELVES................. I'LL SAY NO MORE!!
