The period covered runs from the late 1970s to the present day. The first EMUs were introduced on Britain’s railways more than a century ago and following nationalisation of the railways in 1948 British Railways began a gradual process of electrification which accelerated after the Modernisation Plan in 1955. In the 1970s BR started building its second-generation EMUs and by the 1990s the first of a third generation of EMUs entered service as the railways began to be privatised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to all those who wish to know more about Britain’s railways over the last five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41780944207969,"sku":"9781398119154","price":12.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35537466.jpg?v=1753930742","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781398119154-northern-electrics","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
