Renowned for its express locomotive Mallard setting a world speed
record (126mph) for steam locomotives that endures to this day, the
London & North Eastern Railway was the second largest of the
'Big Four' railway companies to emerge from the 1923 grouping and
also the most diverse, with its prestigious high-speed trains from
King's Cross balanced by an intensive suburban and commuter service
from Liverpool Street and a high dependence on freight. Noted for
its cautious board and thrifty management, the LNER gained a
reputation for being poor but honest. Forming part of a series,
along with The GWR Handbook, The LMS Handbook and The Southern
Railway Handbook, this new edition provides an authoritative and
highly detailed reference of information about the LNER.
