The Southern Way Special No 16: The Bournemouth Electrification

 

This new book, due to be published on 30th November 2019, looks good for those with an interest in all things third rail on BR(S) and its successor.

 

To quote from the publishers website;

 

'This book looks in detail at the scheme from 1964 onwards, the implementation of electrification concurrent with maintaining the existing service, rebuilding and modernising infrastructure and, of course, the original electric and trailer sets as well as the pull-push operation beyond Bournemouth. In addition, changes subsequent to the original 1967 electrification are covered in relation to liveries as well as replacements for the original rolling stock in the ensuing 50 years.'

One for my bookshelf I think.

Picked up my copy from Alton last week. It's excellent and well worth getting if you're interested in Southern Region electrification.

Yes, it would seem to have been released earlier than the date on the publisher’s website, as I’ve just noticed it on Bill Hudson’s stand at the Wakefield Show. 
 

That’s one purchase completed this morning.
