It successfully carried millions of commuters to and from their jobs every day, organized its trunk route services to yield a profit under the brand name "Inter-City," and pioneered world-beating research and technological development through its own research center and engineering subsidiary. It transformed the railway system of Britain from a post-World War II state of collapse into a modern, technologically advanced railway. It did all this despite being starved of cash and being subjected to the whims of ever fickle politicians. British Rail: A Passenger’s Journey is the story of how all that was achieved, seen from a passenger’s perspective. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 610 20 British Rail (Firm)|xHistory. 610 20 British Railways|xHistory. 650 0 Railroads|zGreat Britain|xHistory. 650 7 TRANSPORTATION / Railroads / History.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJackson, Tanya.|tBritish Rail.|dStroud, Gloucestershire The History Press, 2014.|z9780750960762 (paperback) :|w(OCoLC)894833431 914 frd00009697
