The HST became an icon of British Railways and one of its greatest success stories. Remarkably it was seen as a temporary measure, pending electrification of the main lines and the introduction of the ill fated APT. Started in 1970, the aim was to provide a 125mph service. The book comes at a time when fast changes in the motive power on Britain's railways has brought renewed interest in these ageing machines. This colour album is simply packed with colour images showing the locomotives and trains in a great variety of liveries. It is a 'must' for the modern traction enthusiast.
