Covering the period between 1978 and 1982, author, Stephen Owens takes a nostalgic look at the BR Blue era of British Rail throughout Scotland and the north of England.
In BR Blue: The North in Focus diesel locomotives feature widely, alongside a selection of other locomotive types shown on a variety of workings, however as the pictures were all taken in the north there are no images of Class 33s or Class 50s. Pictures are displayed working upwards from Liverpool, and finishing with Scotland, images around Blackburn are abundant due to the author living there throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
An interesting selection of 180 colour and black & white photographs, the majority are displayed in two-per-page format, all are accompanied by captions. 96 pages.
