This highly illustrated look at locomotive-hauled trains features a wide selection of locomotive types on many different passenger duties.

From one-off special workings to day-to-day operations, the whole range of BR and post-privatisation locomotive-hauled trains are featured. These trains range from the regular loco-hauled traffic from the early 1980s to current times, with all the popular types of diesel and electric locomotives shown, including Deltics, Westerns, Classes 20, 25, 31, 33, 37, 40, 56, 87 and many others.

Each historic photograph, most of which have never been published before, is accompanied by an extensive caption, giving a comprehensive overview of timetabled loco-hauled travel in Britain over the last 40 years. They are a historic record of the many changes that have taken place as locomotive-hauled travel declined and, more recently, showed something of a resurgence.
