Hugh Longworth is well known for his detailed research and
encyclopaedic data books on BR locomotive stock. He has published
two highly successful books on DMUs and BR Mark 1 and 2 Coaching
Stock and this new title follows the format of these two previous
volumes to show data on all the mainline EMUs built up to 1975,
including all the units that were built earlier by the individual
companies before nationalisation under BR. The book covers all
units built that have finished their service life and concludes
with the Class 312 units, older units and coaches rebuilt
(including all the Gatwick express units) and the PEP prototype
sets. The data gives the same information on each class, covering
performance, dimensions, capacity, number series etc. Each type is
covered in detail with information about construction, technical
specifications, entry into service, withdrawal and final fate.
Additional sections describe unit formations. The book also gives
individual individual histories of each vehicle including an
indication of depot allocations during their period of service. The
information will be accompanied by line drawings of each class as
well as a representative selection of photographs showing the great
variety of EMUs constructed from the end of the 19th century to
1975.
