Description

Surveying exciting modern developments in high-speed train travel not only in Britain but in Europe. America and the Far East, this is an entirely new updated version of a work originally published in 1978. Geoffrey Freeman Allen, an expert in contemporary railway development, lucidly explains for the lay person the technical and financial problems involved in the continual stepping up of the pace of the world's inter-city expresses. It is a unique reference book and an enthralling narrative as well as a valuable contribution to the understanding of today's transport policy issues.
