GWR8700 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Hello, I was wondering what good books were available on this line. I've been reading the 'The Woodhead Route' by Anthony Dawson and I'm interested in expanding on that with some further reading. Most of the information I have found on this line from other sources relates to it during the years it was electrified so if there's books on it from pre ww2 then that would be great.

E3109 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Profile of the 76s and 77s by David Maxey (OPC) is a good one, now out of print. Also EM1 & EM2 Historical Review by John Hooper (Book Law) ISBN 978-1-909625-19-8. BR Working Instructions books occasionally pop up on eBay, fawn cover. Edit: i just realised that you're after publications from the steam era. However the second one I mentioned does have a number of interesting 'changeover' pics. Another book I recall is 'This was the Woodhead Route' by SR Batty, I think that was an Ian Allan publication and there was another one whose title I can't recall, with a sort of dark pink soft cover which certainly featured the steam era. Edited February 12, 2019 by E3109 Didn't read the OP properly! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) The good thing about these books is apart from part three with an obvious subject in the title, these books cover the line from beginning to end and have many pre-grouping pictures.
