Book Review: The Liverpool & Manchester Railway – An Operating History by Anthony Dawson
This book describes the day-to-day operations, including passenger and goods working, timetabling, signalling, and rules and regulations.
Author: Roger Smith
I have had a life-long interest in railways, growing up just a few yards from the complex of sidings at Gloucester docks. My interest continued when I left school and joined the signal department of British Railways.
I am a published author and a a proof-reader for the Railway Correspondence and Travel Society's society’s monthly magazine, the Railway Observer.
I am also a keen photographer, and have had a number of railway photographs published in monthly magazines and books.
