In this comprehensive and concluding volume, the East Coast Main Line between Kings Cross and Edinburgh Waverley stations is thoroughly explored, with a particular focus on the various ways and structures that make up this vital railway route. The book delves into the intricate details of the line, stations, connections, yards, and other physical features, providing a comprehensive understanding of its operations.
Interwoven throughout the narrative are accounts of the traffic at the principal stations, including connecting and branch line services, accompanied by insightful observations on the changes that occurred over the period from 1939 to 1959. Given the significance and relative unfamiliarity of freight traffic to the reader, it is accorded some emphasis in this work.
While the descriptions of the lines, stations, and other elements are presented as they existed in August 1939, it is important to note that certain plans upon which these elements are based date back to the late 1930s. As a result, there may be minor discrepancies in the precise layout compared to the year 1939.
This second and final volume of the East Coast Main Line trilogy offers a rich and detailed account of this iconic railway line, shedding light on its past and present and providing valuable insights into its future development. Whether you are a railway enthusiast, historian, or simply interested in the workings of transportation systems, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the East Coast Main Line.
