Overview

Supplementing the quarterly 'Southern Way' series, the 'Southern Way Special' books are published approximately annually to supplement the series and expand on the most popular themes. The latest addition to the 'Southern Way Special' series is No.13 and appropriately it deals with railway accidents and incidents - a subject that continues to enthral local historians as well as railway enthusiasts, historians and modellers. Illustrations and descriptions of what went wrong lean heavily towards the South Eastern lines and David Monk-Steele, a former BR Manager, combines a comprehensive and varied collection of images with informative text to provide an real insight into this absorbing subject. Looking mainly, but not exclusively, at railway accidents and incidents which occurred during the British Railways period; 'Southern Way Special No.13' looks set to repeat the ongoing success and popularity of both the 'Southern Way' and 'Southern Way Special' series.
