Modern Railways Magazine Diesel Depot Special Issue

English
353 Reviews   •  English   •   Aviation & Transport (Rail)
Only £6.99
The diesel depot seems to have been around for ever, but in fact the concept is a relatively young one, with dedicated facilities appearing from the late 1950s onwards.

This special Railways Illustrated publication takes an in-depth look at the development and life of the diesel depot, from the sharing of steam sheds through to the generic types that sprung up across the British Railways network in the 1960s.

The story continues through sectorisation in the 1980s and into the privatised era. Specific depots are covered in detail, including three of the largest - Toton, Tinsley and Eastfield. Without doubt the unsung heroes of the corporate BR years, they maintained a wonderful mix of loco types. We hope you enjoy this celebration of the diesel depot.

Very good articles

Modern Railways

Xx Reviewed 20 January 2021

Modern Railways

I find the current UK rail news and comment sections most interesting, particularly ‘Informed Sources’ and ‘Pan Up’, both of which make the magazine a must have each month. I really appreciate how both Roger and Ian bring their knowledge and experience into their articles, but always with the ability to point out where policies and decisions are quite often, seriously flawed, making their articles very informative and enjoyable to read, all laced with intelligent humour as required. I often wish our politicians could display similar clarity of thought and intelligence! Reviewed 24 September 2020

Modern Railways

My only complaint is a lack of diversity in the editorial staff. Please do not misunderstand, this is no criticism of the individual writers but it does lead to a narrower collective viewpoint than might otherwise be the case Reviewed 28 July 2020
