Using records of the Great Western Railway (GWR), Tim Bryan has produced this insight into the life of the railway worker in the proud days when steam was king.
The author looks at the various departments which together ensured the smooth running of the GWR. Locomotive depots and the famous Swindon works are covered, along with the financially important goods department and the traffic department. Life on the footplate is examined, and the impact of the Second World War on GWR staff is also depicted.
