This text celebrates 150 years of the Great Western Railway retelling the full story of this institution, with contributions from experts in all fields including many who worked on the line. Every aspect of the line's history is covered, including the locomotives, branch lines, summer Saturday peak traffic, GWR narrow guage and other operations.

The railway at the heart of Britain, carrying the nation's coal and transporting produce from the vast East Anglian farmlands, the LNER was a workhorse. It also held the unbeaten world steam speed record and ran the Jazz suburban services - contrasts which are explored in this 150-year history.
