Railway Blunders by Adrian Vaughan
The well known railway author and commentator Adrian Vaughan, turns his forthright attention to the subject of these blunders in this book. From the earliest days of the railway age, where politics rather than engineering determined much of the country's railway development, through to the 21st century where, arguably, the same is true, he examines various themes. Locomotives, organisation, structures, policies and much else all fall under his acerbic analysis for, as a former professional railwayman, he is ideally placed to put into print the frustrations of those who had to try and make the railways function despite these blunders.
Comprehensively illustrated with some 180 photographs, Railway Blunders is a thought-provoking analysis of some 200 years of Britains history. It will appeal to social and economic historians as much as to railway enthusiasts. The book was first published in hardback (ISBN: 0 7110 2836 2) in September 2003. A reprint quickly followed. Having been unavailable for some time, the book is now being released for the first time in paperback at a very competitive price. This title will appeal to a wide range of general bookshop customers, especially in this format and at this price. It is an interesting and informative read and the parallels between some of the blunders of the past and those of the present day, will not be lost on those who read it.
