The evolution of the route from a simple main line to a high frequency suburban artery is portrayed in detail. Part of the Great Eastern Railway (GER) main line to Norwich, it became a major constituent of the London & North Eastern Railway (L&NER).
The changes in signalling, station buildings and rolling stock are fully illustrated, while earlier track complexities are shown on large-scale maps.
