Travelling around the Eastern Region in the 1970s and 1980s meant
Deltics and then HSTs on the East Coast Main Line; long and slow
freight trains crawling across an industrial landscape; rattling
DMUs running between large grey cities or picturesque villages. It
meant locomotives and stations alike covered in a layer of brake
dust and grime. For author Andy Gibbs, travel on the Eastern Region
at first involved trips to London's Liverpool Street and King's
Cross stations; a Student Railcard allowed trips to Peterborough;
British Rail staff tickets and passes meant travel even further
afield - York, Doncaster and Leeds, among many other places. With a
range of evocative and previously unpublished photographs taken
during the 1970s and 1980s, Andy Gibbs offers a portrait of the
Eastern Region during this time, allowing the reader to enjoy this
interesting period in British railway history in all its
grubbiness.
