BR: From Green to Blue
BR: From Green to Blue
A fascinating but much overlooked era for the modern traction enthusiast is the changeover from the old British Railways green and maroon to the corporate Rail Blue of the new British Rail, which stretched from the mid-1960s to the very early 1980s. This book, containing 160 colour photographs, portrays the many varied livery styles worn by British Rail’s locomotives, units and coaching stock during this time. It illustrates every major change of the green to blue period, including many little-known and surprising combinations, and aims to answer many questions that have puzzled enthusiasts.
