Publisher's Synopsis
This second volume of a survey of British railway carriages takes us through the troubled years between the wars and post 1945 period until the railways were taken into public ownership.;During this time many of the seeds of the present-day railway passenger scene were sown, but it was also a period of doubt and uncertainty in many areas. It deals with the "famous" streamliners of the 1930s, the many revolutionary new ideas in carriage design, electric trains and the development of London Transport.
