#RailNatter Episode 152: How Britain’s post-war intercity rail network should have looked
from #Railnatter · host Gareth Dennis
After WW2 and nationalisation, Britain's railway operations essentially assumed their 1923 structure and shape, and this may not have led to the best outcomes... When it came to infrastructure, each company may have had their main line, but were these the best routes when you took a view of Britain as a whole?
