Sr 150 by David St John Thomas
Celebrating 150 years of the smallest of the companies formed in the Grouping era in the early 1920s, this book captures the heart of the Southern Railway. With its Golden Arrow Pullman service and its Through Night Ferry operations, the Southern had very special Continental associations, while its achievements in World War II - including its part in the evacuation from Dunkirk - are legendary. It also presided over the world's largest suburban electrification. This book is an exploration of everything that made this railway special.
Patrick Whitehouse and David StJohn Thomas shared a deep love of the railways. Both authors wrote a large number of railway books, some as individuals but many in collaboration. Patrick Whitehouse was dedicated to railway preservation, his death in 1993 brought to an end a great writing partnership which sold more than a million books. David StJohn Thomas was the founder of David & Charles and its chairman until 1990. He lives in Nairn, Scotland.
