A key part of the Great Western Railway’s network was the main line to the North through Birmingham. From London, this route, including the Princes Risborough cut-off, joined Didcot, Oxford, Banbury and Birmingham, and then Wolverhampton, Chester and Shrewsbury, opening up destinations in the North and North West. The GWR also ran services on its joint lines with the London & North Western Railway and the Great Central Railway to reach Birkenhead and York. In this book, author, modeller and railway historian Robert Hendry draws on his extensive collection of historical images to present a photographic portrait of this significant part of the Great Western Railway through the years.
Author, railway historian and modeller Robert Hendry was born and brought up in Rugby and was introduced to the railways there from an early age through the interest of his father. He has written a number of books on various aspects of Britain’s railways including signalling, infrastructure, coaches and wagons as well as on transport on the Isle of Man, where he now lives. Robert also produces with his wife Elena the Elro range of card kits of a number of railway and tramway subjects.
