This book is the tale of a small boy from Surrey who had a fascination with anything on wheels and, also, loved to learn about people and what motivated them. When the Beeching report came out in 1963, he decided that he wanted to be a part of the new order and help bring back some of that excitement. He read a lot about railways and was excited by the innovations of our nineteenth-century predecessors.
Much that is reported has never before been published, and the reasons for many decisions on previously opaque matters are explained.The He describes his upbringing and paints a picture of the 'greyness' of the 1950s and then takes the reader on a voyage of discovery into the world of 1960's engineering before he joined British Railway in 1970.The view from the inside presents readers with a whole new picture of what was really going on within British Rail at various levels.
