The Great Western's last year : efficiency in adversity

Vaughan, Adrian2013
Books
In 1947 the GWR was at the lowest ebb of its entire history. Worn out by war, there had been no maintenance for 6 years and the government couldn't supply the steel they needed for repair. The incredible strength of character and can-do attitude of GWR workers kept the railway running through it all. This history, drawn from GWR papers, reveals the details of everyday and the problems and difficulties the staff faced.
