{"product_id":"lines-of-power-john-buxton-9781917458108","title":"Lines of Power: The Electrification of British Railways. Trials, Tribulations and Successes","description":"Written by John Buxton and Don Heath, two experienced rail professionals, Lines of Power delivers a comprehensive record of the stuttering progress of electrification and modernisation of Britain's railway network, exposing the furtive manoeuvring by competing factions within the railway industry during the 1950s. The book is highly critical of the excessive scepticism of the Department of Transport (DoT later DfT) and the frequent disproportionate, and often imprudent, interventions by politicians that have collectively thwarted the opportunity to progress a more comprehensive and cost effective 'rolling programme' of electrification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Buxton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 191745810X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781917458108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unicorn Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"John Buxton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526474748159,"sku":"9781917458108","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_143a1844-a9a1-41cb-bb22-b336dacbcb45.jpg?v=1737556286","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lines-of-power-john-buxton-9781917458108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
