Railways of Central Scotland
Railways of Central Scotland
The five years to each side of the millennium were a period of great change on the railway network with the advent of privatisation and, on the passenger side, the introduction of franchised operations. On the freight side, the original British Railways network was initially split into three companies, Mainline, Loadhaul and Transrail, but they were all purchased by the English, Welsh and Scottish Railway. The period saw new rolling stock, new locomotives and a staggering number of different liveries.
This book captures the last days of some of the older classes before they were phased out and introduces the newer ones. By 2005, the railways of Central Scotland had transformed almost beyond recognition.
