Completed in 1841 and covering a distance of around 118 miles, the
Great Western Mainline, affectionately known as Brunel's billiards
table due to the flat terrain of the route it follows, links the
great cities of London and Bristol. This book covers a period of
enormous change, starting with the withdrawal of the much-loved HST
fleet and the introduction of the Hitachi 800/802 IET fleet. Along
with the IET fleet's introduction, the push for electrification of
the route has brought about unprecedented changes not only to the
route itself but also to multiple units in operation. The DMUs have
largely cascaded to the west as EMUs and Class 387s have begun to
dominate passenger traffic. Freight and on-track plant also feature
alongside unusual visitors and railtours.
