"Wirral Railways" - "" ("Evans John")(Paperback)

The Merseyrail service on the Wirral gets plaudits for its service levels, but this is nothing new. The lines to West Kirby and New Brighton from Liverpool are remarkable for their pastoral, seaside locations and the fact that they were electrified as far back as 1938.This book shows the Wirral lines in action over the past fifty years, including special trains, the centenary open days and normal trains. In recent years the electrified network has been extended to Chester. Today the line is the location of some of Britain’s oldest trains – all are more than forty years old. But new trains are being tested and will shortly be introduced.The line is seldom featured in books, but here is celebrated with 180 rare and previously unpublished photographs.
