Product Information
The rail route, from Birmingham New Street to Leicester, via Nuneaton and Hinckley, is described in this book along with every station along the line, together with the motive power used during the past and present; steam, diesel and electric. The reader is taken on a journey along a line that has survived remarkably well over the years, and one which has a secure future as the main link between the West Midlands and the Eastern Counties. The history of the line is covered from the earliest times up to the present day, from the steam era to today's diesel multiple units. All the motive power depots that were once to be found along the line are detailed, together with sample locomotive allocations for various periods, for Nuneaton, Leicester Midland and Saltley sheds. All photographs have captions giving the basic history of the locomotive illustrated with a comprehensive selection of maps showing the track layouts once to be found at each station and other key installations along the route. The various industrial lines that were connected with the main line are illustrated and described.Product Identifiers
