Continuing from “Rails Around Aylesbury Vale,” this companion volume explores the West Coast Main Line from Tring Summit to Wembley Central and five branch lines within a twelve mile radius of Watford. Spanning from the 1940s to the mid-1960s, the book captures steam-hauled expresses, early diesels, and the first AC electrics.
Authored by a lifelong railway enthusiast, Rails Around Watford features a personal collection of photographs from the Transport Treasury archive. Photographs are presented in full-page format, with a caption at the foot of each page.
Railways Around Watford features a fascinating selection of black & white photographs, covering suburban passenger trains, long-distance express trains on the West Coast Main Line and also freight and London Underground trains. Hardback. 80 pages.
