## Description

Buy British Rail Designed 1948-97 by Lawrence, David (ISBN: 9780711038370) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Buy it, encyclopaedia of British Rail really - Nice easy read, plenty of info but concise and to the point. Plenty of photos that cover pretty much everything. The research behind it is first rate, names of the designers and even what they designed, right down to the ash trays and seat colours. Well worth getting.
Review: Meticulous and fascinating - This is a well illustrated history of the history of design on Britain's railways from nationalisation to privatisation. It is methodical and well structured taking a chronological and themed approach covering everything from typefaces, logos, signage publicity material on the one hand to the design of stations, locomotives and rolling stock on the other. The choice of illustrations is comprehensive and well reproduced, many of which I had not seen before. This is a book that you can flick through and enjoy the illustrations as well as providing a more thorough read. The reader is left with a sense of order and control relating to all design components of British Railways lasting into the 1980s. Worth every penny.

*by J***Y on 4 May 2018*

Excellent and abundantly illustrated survey of BR's long engagement with design, a 'hit & miss' saga, rather like its handling of motive power development. The author tends to leave judgements to the reader, a few more roses and brickbats would have been welcome. But the full record is here, and the names of many designers not generally known to railway readers..
