Synopsis
The Great Railway Conspiracy is the definitive history of the 'Beeching' railway closures of the 1960s, and railway renaissance since the 1980s that has seen many lines reopen. The book ends with a listing of the top thirty future targets, most of which are already under investigation. So although the subject matter is deeply depressing, the book tells a readable and ultimately optimistic tale

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. David Henshaw (illustrator). 3rd Edition. The Great Railway Conspiracy was written in 1991, and covered the catastrophic collapse of the British railway system in the 1960s that saw closure or harsh rationalisation of many lines. Henshaw's thesis is that some of these closures were inevitable, but many were totally counterproductive, costing the economy far more than the simple balance-sheet of rationalisation had yielded. Evidence is drawn from later traffic figures on the surviving branch lines and the success of reopened railways. The book was reprinted in 1993 and again in 2013. This is the updated third edition bringing the story up to the early days of railway privatisation and the phenominal traffic growth on the surviving 'near-miss' Beeching branch lines, and reopened services. Brand new from storage, but may show some slight fading on the cover. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 0001
