Description

In this volume Andy Gibbs returns to the Highlands, Lowlands and Borders of Scotland with many more images of trains in the region. The journey starts in southern and south-west Scotland, travels through the Central Belt before continuing into the Highlands and finishing at Wick and Thurso. The 1970s and 1980s are periods of British Rail’s history that seemed to be in terminal decline with its heavy industry customers also falling by the wayside. Locomotives featured include classes 06, 08, 24, 26, 27, 37, 40, 47 and electric locomotives, as well as multiple units from the branch and commuter lines. Trains are pictured in spectacular scenery, sites of industrial decay and urban cityscapes.

Andy Gibbs offers the rail enthusiast a vibrant selection of previously unpublished photographs documenting the Scottish rail scene in the 1970s and 1980s.
