Pullman Trains in Britain

There have been Pullmans on British railways for 120 years. From 1960 the cars themselves, which had formerly stood out proudly in a train, became very similar to ordinary coaches. Fortunately, a number of ‘traditional’ cars had been purchased privately, and were often seen on the main lines, until restrictions on permissible bogies affected some; but the VSOE still runs and there are a few on private railways. This book contains material originally published in Pullman Cars of the ‘Southern’ 1875-1972 (LP164), which it replaces. It is presented in an A5 format, with 112 pages with around 100 photos/plans etc. Presented on art paper throughout, it has a full colour laminated cover with a square-backed spine.
