Multiple units are the unsung heroes of the modern railway system. Their many advantages include higher capacity, less track damage and lower operating costs, making them an ever more popular choice for modern, cost-conscious, railway operators. This volume details the history of the major unit types that have operated on the UK's rail network.

This highly illustrated look at locomotive-hauled trains features a wide selection of locomotive types on many different passenger duties. From one-off special workings to day-to-day operations, the whole range of BR and post-privatization locomotive-hauled trains are featured. These trains range from the regular loco-hauled traffic from the early 1980s to current times, with all the popular types of diesel and electric locomotives shown, including Deltics, Westerns, Classes 20, 25, 31, 33, 37, 40, 56, 87 and many others.Each historic photograph, most of which have never been published before, is accompanied by an extensive caption, giving a comprehensive overview of timetabled loco-hauled travel in Britain over the last 40 years. They are a historic record of the many changes that have taken place as locomotive-hauled travel declined and, more recently, showed something of a resurgence.

As loco haulage declined in the UK, British Rail fans began to look at the railway networks of other countries. For many, their first port of call was Europe. However, worldwide favorites came to include the USA and India. Featuring over 160 color photos, this book summarizes some of the popular destinations and locos that they travel for.
