Being situated in the centre of the UK, the West Midlands have
always been the hub of the railway network. From InterCity workings
from London Euston, to CrossCountry trains from the North East to
the South West, there has always been plenty of variety on these
passenger services, and most points of the compass can be reached
from Birmingham New Street. The West Midlands have also been a main
centre for freight workings. From the once-busy Washwood Heath yard
to Bescot, there is a history of a strong freight presence in the
region. Unfortunately there are not as many freight services as
there have been in the past, but most types of freight flows have
been seen in the West Midlands. There has also been a large variety
of traction passing through the West Midlands; locos visit, and
have visited, from all over the country, with most descending on
Saltley shed, just on the outskirts of Birmingham city centre. A
real range of multiple units can also be seen in use in the West
Midlands, both diesel and electric. In this volume, Andrew Cole
explores this rich variety of traction, illustrated in a
comprehensive collection of photographs that span the decades.
