Running a railway is a complex business. However well-run it is
there will always be surprises, often hilarious, frequently
unexpected, sometimes serious. Here railway professionals recall
notable incidents from across their careers on the railways,
lovingly compiled by expert railwaymen and authors Geoff Body and
Bill Parker. The incidents covered in this illustrated book include
such bizarre ‘everyday’ events as coping with hurricanes, rogue
locomotives and runaway wagons, PR successes and otherwise, the
Brighton Belle, Flying Scotsman and Mallard, training course
capers, a wino invasion, trackside antics, the Eurostar backdrop,
the birth of a prison, and royal and other special occasions. An
enjoyable look back at life on the railways.
