This book examines the changing face of Glasgow's railways ever since that infamous report, starting with the period of rationalisation and indus...

Older traction is being withdrawn or cascaded elsewhere, but this is proving less than straightforward. Electric Multiple Units have had to be transferred north from London to cover stock shortages, w...
