BRITISH MADE
Set up in 1970 to design, manufacture and repair British Rail’s rolling stock, BREL went on to create some of the most iconic trains of the 20th Century, most notably the HST. This ample volume explores the work undertaken by BR’s subsidiary and examines the complex environment in which the business had to operate. Its oft-overlooked export legacy is also discussed, while the particulars of how BREL came to be wound up are laid out. Carefully researched and supported with useful images, it will appeal to anyone with an interest in the later years of BR.
