About this product
Product Information
Of all the policies adopted by the last Conservative government in the field of public transport, the most contentious was, without doubt, the privatisation - and fragmentation - of the railway industry. Characterised at the time as a 'poll tax on wheels', the ramifications of this ill-judged policy are still becoming evident. However, to the casual viewer, privatisation did bring one dramatic change - the appearance of myriad new liveries. While it is true to say that, in its latter days, BR itself was not immune from varying its corporate style, the newly-privatised companies, seeking to create new identities for themselves, have been at the forefront of a style revolution. Some of the new liveries have been designed around the corporate image of the ultimate owners - such as Virgin West Coast and Virgin Cross Country - while others, such as Great North Eastern, have sought to create a wholly new image for the operator. Arguably some of the new liveries are better than others; what is undeniable, however, is that the railway scene is now more colourful than it has been since the pre-Grouping era. In his second title devoted to the railway liveries of Britain's railways, Colin Boocock provides a comprehensive portrait of the liveries adopted by each of the Train Operating Companies. In certain cases, despite relatively short lives, many of the TOCs, such as South West Trains, have subtly altered their livery; others, such as Thames Trains, seem equally happy to have retained the existing Network Southeast colour scheme. Drawing upon some 150 colour illustrations, this book provides modellers and enthusiasts with a single work of reference chronicling the changing railway scene in the era after privatisation.
