Mind the Gap: London Underground Pictorial
Compared with the main line railways of Britain, the London Underground receives the least attention from those who have an interest in railways. Maybe this is due to the fact that multiple unit trains dominate the system, and locomotive action is rare (though certainly not non-existent), or maybe it is just because the London Underground does what it does best day in, day out, and is very much taken for granted.
To mark the 150th anniversary of the underground, this 80-page pictorial book looks at the system as it is today and from the past few years with old trains being replaced, new trains being introduced, the lines and the stations. All this is presented in full colour, mostly in a one image per page format.
From city landscapes to narrow tunnels, all the underground and surface lines are featured along with every type of unit currently in operation. While the captions contain many historical and technical facts, it is not the intention of this book to be a complete history or technical book.
Printed on glossy art paper, hardback, landscape format, 80 pages.
