The Bakerloo is the dull brown line on London's iconic tube map. It
doesn't have the multiple branches of the Northern or District
Lines, the loops of the Piccadilly or the Central, or the puzzling
shape of the non-circular Circle.But its nondescript appearance
belies a history encompassing fraud in the boardroom and drama in
the courtroom for a line first conceived by sports enthusiasts and
finished by Chicago gangsters. With over 120 photographs, this book
provides a history of its development from obtaining Parliamentary
permission and raising finance through to geology and construction
techniques. It details its operation including rolling stock,
signalling, stations and signage from the beginning to the current
day. The impact of the two World Wars is revealed and it remembers
some of the accidents and tragedies that befell the line. Finally,
the book describes its evolution up to the present day and beyond.
