This book is the sequel to the author's two previous volumes on the history of the Great Eastern covering the Early Years from 1811 to 1862 and the Late 19th Century and early 20th Century from 1862 to 1924. This book cover the years 1923 to 2023 describes how the Great Eastern Section of the London and North Eastern Railway was transformed from being something of a backwater during the inter war years to being very much at the forefront of modernisation under British Railways. Within the book will be found how the Great Eastern Section coped with the threat of road competition during the inter war years, its involvement in the Second World War and how under British Railways it came to be seen the epitome of modernisation beginning with the arrival of the arrival of the Britannia Class locomotives in 1951 and culminating the complete elimination of steam power in the East of England at the end of 1963. The book describes the impact of the Beeching Report on the former Great Eastern. It chronicles the progress of the Section's through the electrification of its two main lines and the construction and opening of the Elizabeth Line. Preservation is also mentioned as are possible future developments. It is book for anyone who is interested in the history of the railways of the East of England, railways in general and the history of the East of England.

The Company's attempts to gain direct access to the northern coal fields which resulted in the formation of the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Line is mentioned as is the abortive proposed working union with the Great Northern and the Great Central railways.Relations with London, Tilbury and Southend Railway including the battle for the Southend traffic from 1911 are dealt with, as is the effect of Midland Railway takeover of that Railway.How the GER dealt with the threat of electric tube railways at the turn of the 20th century receives attention as do the abortive proposals in 1918 for the electrification of the Company's suburban services.

Britain's royal, architectural and historic heritage is celebrated in one stunningly illustrated volume.

Here is an outstanding visual reference guide to one of the most exciting and dynamic periods of British history. In this lavishly illustrated chronicle, Charles Phillips traces the royal family from the accession of the German king George I, in 1714, through the development of the worldwide British Empire under Queen Victoria to the glorious reign of Elizabeth II. Fact boxes, feature spreads and maps trace the birth of the Empire and the development of the modern Commonwealth.

This book is the first of two which covers the history of the Great Eastern Railway and its predecessors from the first proposal for a railway in the eastern counties in 1811 for a railway from Islington to Wallasea Island and Mucking to its absorption into the London and North Eastern Railway under the 1923 Grouping of Railways. This volume covers the period from 1811 up to the formation of the Great Eastern Railway in 1862.The history is the first history of the GER since Cecil J. Allen's history of the railway which was first published in 1955 and which has long been out of print.The book makes use of both previously published works on the GER and its predecessors, but also contemporary documents such as the Directors' reports to shareholders of the Eastern Counties Railway, timetables, reports in local and national newspapers as well as extracts from selected peoples' diaries. Some of which were not easily available to Allen when he wrote his history of the GER. Incorporating these other sources means the book sheds new light on the Railway's history.The book is intended for anyone who is either interested in railways and particularly the Great Eastern Railway and the railways of the east of England, but also for anyone who is interested in general in the history of that part of England.
