Synopsis

Reg Robertson tells his story of life on the footplate in war torn London and of the pressures that were put on both men and machines working through the blackout, with the dangers of attack from enemy aircraft, or the damage, destruction and loss of life caused by the 'V1' then later 'V2' rockets. Reg worked from Stratford depot, on trains from Liverpool Street and into London's docklands. He captures the spirit of life on the railway and the companionship that was forged between footplate crews despite all the hardships. The reality of this life is plain to see in this compelling account. This title is presented in an A5 format, a laminated square-backed cover, with 152 pages of text, which include 11 maps and plans, plus 32 pages of 61 photographs.
