Although the West Coast main line and much of the South-east is electrified, these areas are insignificant when compared to the swathes of Eastern England which use, or used, electric traction.
Beginning with the pioneering work of the North Eastern Railway and then the wiring of the Woodhead route, begun by the LNER, the East Coast main line, Airedale & Wharfedale and most of East Anglia are now electrified.
This new title by John Glover provides, for the first time, a detailed study of all these schemes and tells a story which will appeal to those with an interest in electric traction and to all with a leaning toward the railways of Eastern England.
