Mortons Books | West Coast Steam
WEST COAST is a biography of the West Coast Main Line, Britain’s busiest railway route, and produced to mark the 175th anniversary of its first section, the Grand Junction Railway, which opened between Warrington and Birmingham on July 4 1837.
This magnificent trunk route runs from London’s Euston station to Glasgow Central, a distance of around 400 miles.
Its story is also that of some of the world’s greatest railway engineers: locomotive pioneers George and Robert Stephenson, international railway builder extraordinaire Thomas Brassey, Francis Webb the King of Crewe and Sir William Stanier, whose Pacifics designed for the London Midland & Scottish Railway were among the finest locomotives built anywhere in the world.
