The railway at the heart of Britain, carrying the nation's coal and
transporting produce from the vast East Anglian farmlands, the LNER
was a workhorse. It also held the unbeaten world steam speed
record, and ran the Jazz suburban services - contrasts which are
explored in this history of 150 glorious years. The LNER comes
across as an enormous and often struggling business, but a very
human affair. Its varied role touched the lives of many, and
first-hand recounts of the railway bring its history to life. From
Scottish ports to Lowestoft in the east, there were many faces to
the LNER and management encouraged devolution like no other rail
company of its time. This book contains many stirring stories of
the days when the vast majority of its passengers and most its
staff never dreamt of getting to know other than their small
corners of the system, and when boarding the "Flying Scotsman" was
the ultimate in adventure.
