The story of the most iconic railway company of the great age of
steam. The initials 'GWR' conjure an evocative picture of a
Brunswick green locomotive hauling tea-and-cream-coloured coaches
through a verdant West Country landscape. However, the GWR was not
just engines and trains. In this comprehensive history, Colin
Maggs, one of the country's foremost railway historians, tells of
other, perhaps less well-known aspects of the company's history:
its construction and expansion; the activities of its publicity
department; and its sea, air and road services. It was a caring,
cradle-to-the-grave employer and at Swindon even provided a
hospital, school, baths and recreational facilities. These and
other fascinating aspects of the company are all revealed in this
accessible book, illustrated with over 100 photographs and period
posters, many in colour.
