Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Great Western Railway quickly coming to be known as Gods Wonderful Railway was once regarded as the most advanced in the world. Engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel it was initially designed to connect Bristol to London and came to develop a distinct character all of its own, one of the many reasons why it remains a much-loved and popular area of interest. This book traces its history covering topics such as the company, its engines and carriages, its engineers including Gooch, Dean, Armstrong, Collett, Churchward and of course Brunel as well as the battle of the gauges. Full of little-known facts and figures and with numerous photographs and memorabilia as well as a timeline, it is a tale full of record breakers and mighty achievements waiting to be retold to a modern age. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The exciting early days of the railways were tempered with danger, as the Victorian concept of health and safety was rather different to ours. Going into the dark was a frightening experience and tunneling under the ground and under water was a death-defying activity in nineteenth-century Britain many workers and travellers paid the ultimate price. Flooding, collapses and explosions, as well as malodorous air and illness, were just some of the challenges workers faced in order to make tunnels passable. Even once the tunnels had been completed, accidents were still frequent, whether collisions, derailments or fires. In this fascinating history, Rosa Matheson explores the grim past of Britains well-known and lesser-known railway tunnel disasters, and how their terror led to a safer future. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
