Description
This illustrated companion cements Great Western Railway's place in British history, one secured by a nostalgic fondness for a bygone era.
With a network covering much of the west country, Wales and the West Midlands, and a history and tradition stretching back more than a century to Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Great Western Railway (GWR) has been seen by many railway historians and enthusiasts as the most famous railway in the world.
This introduction to the history of a much-loved company describes the flagship express services, goods trains, fleets of buses, lorries and even ships that once made a powerful empire, many remnants of which survive to this day.
