THE TRAIN THAT RAN AWAY

This book is a business history of British Railways for the years 1948-1968. The book looks at the problems that faced the newly nationalized (1948) British Railways. The book also looks critically at management policies that poured capital into the existing system rather than rationalizing it to adjust it ot the needs of the postwar society.
