Hi all,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...421405-7985441 It covers the London Underground as well as the mainline railways. (Presumably it also covers the Glasgow Underground, although I didn't check that.) The main drawbacks of the book are that all photos are in black and white, and not every described structure is photographed. But this is an admirable book which tries to complete its subject, and belongs on the bookshelf of everyone who can afford the GBP 60 price. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

I must say its worth it and the kind of book if you are interested in the architecture of Britain's railways to offer a real good overview of the project, and useful guides on where to find out more information.
