Seventy Years of the South Western by Colin Boocock

Seventy Years of the South Western by Colin Boocock

This book looks at the network over the last seventy years, from Nationalisation through to the present day.

COLIN BOOCOCK is a retired railway officer whose career, mainly in mechanical and electrical engineering, spanned forty-one years full-time work on British Railways and Railtrack and a further twelve or so years in part-time consultancy. His career started at Eastleigh Works on the Southern Region, where he was trained in the late 1950s, later going on to work at railway establishments in all of BR's original Regions including spells in Scotland and Wales, mainly managing the maintenance of locomotives and rolling stock at a senior level. As a life-long railway enthusiast, he travelled widely on Britain's railways but always had a keen interest in the developments on what he still regards as his home railway', the South Western. This volume describes in some detail the railway he grew up on: the South Western, its main lines, key railway centres and the fascinating myriad of secondary routes and branch lines.
