The Great Northern Railway out of King's Cross was always in the
limelight with the 'Scotch Expresses' and it carried the baton to
just north of Doncaster, whereupon the North Eastern Railway took
over. The GNR ventured to Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Stafford
and Manchester, where a GNR warehouse survives to this day. The
Great Northern also reached Leeds and Bradford, where its
competitors were mainly the London & North Western and the
Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, both of whom were to become
constituents of the LMS Railway. The Great Northern was predominant
in Lincolnshire and the company's presence in Lincoln was recorded
before the changes there in 2009. The line from Nottingham to
Skegness was mostly semaphore signalled at the survey dates and, as
with some other seaside resorts, Skegness retains the feel of a
bygone era if not the traffic levels. The Great Northern entered
into a joint venture with the Great Eastern in Lincolnshire and
their joint line is covered also before the recent modernisation.
While the heritage lines will continue with semaphore signalling
and nineteenth-century ways of working for the foreseeable future,
the day is nigh where there will be no such presence on Network
Rail. In this volume, Allen Jackson explores this history and more,
bringing it to life with a thorough collection of photographs and a
wealth of technical detail.
