A safe mode of transport today, the railways were far from vehicles of sleepy commute when they first came into service; indeed, accidents were commonplace and sometimes were a result of something far more sinister. In this fresh approach to railway history, Rosa Matheson explores the grim and grisly railway past. These horrible happenings include memorable disasters and accidents, the lack of burial grounds for London’s dead, leading to the ‘Necropolis Railway’, the gruesome necessity of digging up the dead to accommodate the railways and how the discovery of dynamite gave rise to the ‘Dynamite Wars’ on the London Underground in the 1880s and 1890s. Join Rosa as she treads carefully through the fascinating gruesome history of Britain’s railways.

If you have ever travelled on the national UK railway system since April 2000 then chances are your train has been over a Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS) loop. These loops, or grids as they appear to be, have been installed on the track and are connected to the signals. They provide an additional level of train safety. This 54 page book details what TPWS is and how it all works; from the trackside infrastructure, to the rolling stock and the signal boxes. Illustrated with over 30 pictures, as well as diagrams to help explain it all, the book takes you on a journey from early railway signalling, to the development of the Automatic Warning System (AWS) and onto TPWS. A must for the causal observer, enthusiast or rail professional.
