More than 40 years after its publication, the 1963 Beeching Report
on British railways remains controversial for recommending the
closure of a third of Britain's railways. In this book, Charles
Loft examines: why the nationalized railways were in such dire
financial straits by 1963 how government work on future transport
needs led to conclusions which would have cut Britain's railways
down by thousands of miles what difficulties eventually halted
attempts by Conservative and Labour governments to implement these
cuts. This book will be invaluable to anyone interested in how
transport policy is made or how it has arrived at its current state
and sheds fascinating new light on the working of government, the
economy and the mood of the times under Churchill, Eden, Macmillan
and Wilson.
