The Great Central from the Footplate

More about the book

Robert Robotham, author of The Last Years of the Great Central Main Line (1986), and former Leicester Central engineman Frank Stratford combined their talents to produce this vivid, authoritative and often humorous account of life at a major GC locomotive shed and the working of a variety of turns on the line during the final decade of its existence. The book is packed with information – timetables, locomotive allocations etc – for railway enthusiasts and illustrated with over 170 photographs.
