Publisher's Synopsis
One hundred years have passed from the formation of the largest British railway company - the London Midland & Scottish Railway. This was also the biggest transport concern in the world at the time. The LMSR was able to serve passengers and customers to a high standard up to the Second World War. During the conflict the LMSR made a valuable contribution to the war effort in terms of motive power provision, movement of goods and war materials. 'The Glorious Years of the LMS' examines the company over the period 1923-1947.
