ISBN10: 0241456207, ISBN13: 9780241456200, [publisher: Penguin Books Ltd, London] Hardcover Hardcover. The rise and fall of the state-owned British Rail, from "the greatest expert on British trains" Christian WolmarYou think you know British Rail.Stale sandwiches, inefficiency, and violent yellow carriages- we haven't looked kindly on the last of our state-owned organizations to be privatized.But through its 50-year lifetime, British Rail transformed our transport system, and for a time provided one of the fastest regular rail services in the world.Born into postwar austerity, impoverished, and exploited by a hostile press, British Rail became a punchline, dismissed and swept away by Conservative government.Now, Christian Wolmar provides a new perspective on public loss in a time of privatization. British Rail is ripe for a new history. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
