A Day in the Life of British Rail Murray Brown
Portraying a typical day's activity at British Rail, this book looks at an organization that employs over 150,000 staff in a multitude of vocations ranging from railman to BRB chairman, from solicitor to director of industrial design. The day in focus was a summer Friday when many writers and photographers covered the length and breadth of Britain, travelling some of the 10,335 route miles and visiting some of the 2,426 stations. The book contains a portrait of the activities and people, as well as the equipment and often historic and scenic backgrounds that make up this industry. The author is editor of Rail and former editor of Jane's Railway Year.
