The British Railways Pre-Grouping Atlas and Gazetteer was first
published by Ian Allan Publishing in 1958 but has not been revised
since the fifth edition in 1967. For this new edition the
cartography has been completely redrawn in the larger page size of
our recent atlases to make the mapping much clearer and easy to
read. It has also been thoroughly corrected and for the first time
will include lines not built at the time of the 1923 Grouping to
show the entire historical railway network. The atlas will also
have a gazetteer listing abbreviations of all the railway companies
and an index listing all tunnels, water troughs, principal summits,
stations, good and locomotive sheds, depots etc and junctions named
on the maps. The British Railways Pre-Grouping Atlas and Gazetteer
is a complete record of the approximately 150 of different
companies that ran Britain's passenger railways, including narrow
gauge, before the Grouping into the Big Four companies in 1923. The
ownership of each line is differentiated by colour coding on the
maps, with enlarged sections of the most complicated centres,
making this an essential work of reference for all those interested
in the history of Britain's railways, both the thousands of miles
of railway lines that have now disappeared and the origins of
today's network that survives.
