With over 200 colour photographs this book provides an insight into an area of railway operations that has received little coverage up to now – diverted trains. British Rail had a policy of diverting trains around engineering work where possible and this continued through to rail privatisation in the 1990s. Although rail replacement buses have become more common in recent years, diversion of rail services still takes place, both passenger and freight, but less often than before. An interesting feature of diverted trains is that they would often use unusual motive power or run on lines which didn’t normally see that type of traffic. Some diversions featured electric traction being hauled by a diesel locomotive.
