This is an account of the changes and developments which particularly characterized the Warwickshire stretch of railway. The struggles and battles between the various railway companies (the L&B, TVR, LNWR, GWR and NWR) for supremacy over some of the Warwickshire branches are depicted here by introductions to each section. Archive photographs, period timetables, company advertisements and locoshed allocations help to conjure up a picture of a mode of transport that has long gone.
