Publisher's Synopsis
The London & North Eastern Railway existed from 1923-1947 and presided over one of the most exciting periods in British railway history. From the non-stop 'Flying Scotsman' to 'Silver Jubilee', 'Coronation' and 'West Riding Lmited' streamlined trains, the company was continually innovating and received accolades as a result. This book explores the period through over 400 colour and black-and-white images and informative captions. Divided into several sections, the book looks at locomotives, carriages, wagons and road vehicles.
