'British Railways Past and Present' is a nationwide series of books
featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades
ago and comparing them with the same scene today. Such is the
current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years
can reduce a busy and vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or
housing estate - or conversely can bring electrification and
up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated, run-down route. The
contrasts are often dramatic, while sometimes hardly anything has
altered in 30 or 40 years.Whatever the change, the comparison of
'past' and 'present' will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast
and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history.
