Disruption
![Disruption](images/wanttorunarailway.JPG) |
The Southern Railways and latterly The Southern Region‘s Public Relations & Publicity Department at Waterloo had a tradition of producing some excellent literature. want to run a RAILWAY? was very much in this tradition.
Published in October 1962, this 48 page booklet was distributed to Southern Region commuters. It covered the scale of daily operation, the difficulties faced and an explanation of the most common problems, such as fog, snow and ice.
Amazing foresight, as the following winter was to be of the worst on record and saw, for the last time, the widespread use of steam locos assisting stranded electric multiple units, right across the region. |
