Infos

In this book Martyn Hilbert presents a pictorial survey of Electrical Multiple Units in the North of England, from Staffordshire to the Scottish borders, Doncaster to Tyneside and including the conurbations of Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Leeds/Bradford. The period covered runs from the late 1970s to the present day. The first EMUs were introduced on Britain's railways more than a century ago and following nationalisation of the railways in 1948 British Railways began a gradual process of electrification which accelerated after the Modernisation Plan in 1955. In the 1970s BR started building its second-generation EMUs and by the 1990s the first of a third generation of EMUs entered service as the railways began to be privatised. This book will appeal to all those who wish to know more about Britain s railways over the last five decades.
