This book is a portrait of the period that became known as the era
of BR Blue - the 1970s and 1980s. The railway appeared to be caught
up in a world of its own. It was still recognisably the one from
the steam era, and happy to be living in the past rather than
making strides toward the future. As with most of the nationalised
industries, labour relations were somewhat fraught. The railway
invested in electrification and everything else was standardised to
minimise costs. Unsurprisingly, stagnation haunted the network.
Some would suggest the railway was doing a particularly fine job
given the circumstances. It was fortunate to be blessed with a
dedicated workforce and supported by thousands of people who
travelled by train. For those of us who remember those days fondly,
this is how we would prefer to remember that time.
