Description
RAILWAY TIMES is the new twice-yearly journal covering the changes and events on British Railways year by year starting from 1948. 1948 was a year of upheaval. Public ownership meaning four very different organisations had to begin to be welded into one corporate entity. This meant the start of a standardised policy stretching from Cornwall to Scotland and all places between. It was a fascinating year and one which is explored in this new title.
