A reference to the history of the London Underground that reveals fresh insights into the history of the iconic transport system. It helps to discover the tales of the building of the first lines in the mid-nineteenth century and the steam trains that ran along them, and the abandoned ghost stations.
A collection of British railway facts and stories to read in any spare moment. It includes lists of longest tunnels, widest bridges and powerful locomotives. It looks at the dismal failure of Brunel's atmospheric railway in South Devon.
This book celebrates the many styles of station building on the London Underground.
