British Railways Past and Present is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago which are compared with the same scene today. The contrasts are often dramatic, whilst sometimes hardly any changes take place over 30 or 40 years. Whatever the change, the comparison of past and present will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history. In this volume covering North West, West and South West London are over 260 photographs in black & white featuring: * The Midland Main Line from St Pancras to Elstree * The West Coast Main Line from Euston to Watford * The GCR and GW&GC Joint- Marylebone to Northwood and Denham * The GWR main line from Paddington to Slough * Victoria and lines south to Coulsdon and Tattenham Corner * Waterloo and Clapham Junction to Feltham, Kingston, Hampton Court and Epsom * The West London and North London lines
