At the forefront of innovation and development in the rail world,
the Southern Railway was the only main-line railway to embrace
electrification wholeheartedly, creating what was at the time the
world's largest electric suburban network. It was also the only
railway to use passenger train ferries, allowing its sleeping car
service between London and Paris to operate as a true through
service, and its 'Golden Arrow' all-Pullman day express even had
its own luxury Channel ferry. These achievements would have been
noteworthy at any time, but were set against the challenging
background of worldwide depression. With the aid of stunning colour
photographs, The Southern Railway Story explores this remarkable
passenger-traffic-driven railway from its commuter trains, via its
international express railway, to its role as a holiday railway
serving many of the most popular seaside resorts.
