The North-West of England is a diverse and fascinating part of the
country with a varied landscape. This area was once the powerhouse
of the industrial revolution, and was the location for the World's
first true 'Intercity' railway, spawning a complex network of
routes that served the various towns which were once hives of
industry. The famous coastal resorts-Southport, Blackpool, and
Morecambe were all products of the railway age, when a day trip to
the seaside broke the monotony of the daily grind. However, areas
and times change-heavy industry was on the wane by the late 1960s,
and the last of the Lancashire Collieries disappeared in the early
1990s, reflecting the decline of traditional industries nationwide.
The North-West railway network has adapted, becoming a
predominantly passenger railway, with busy commuter services
feeding Liverpool and Manchester daily. This book chronicles many
of the changes since the late 1970s, including scenes, routes, and
rolling stock that have altered beyond recognition.
