Starting Something Big at Bristol

Post by thunderer »

I came across this book at the weekend, published by the author / Past Track Publications apparently released in the summer.

A fascinating account of the 1970's Bristol Resignalling project, with diagrams and photos.

Has anyone else come across this volume?

That's Peter Rendall's book. I've not seen it yet but am looking forward to getting my hands on one! He certainly knows his stuff!

I now have a copy of this and can't recommend it enough! A very well researched and informative book, with lots of photos of long gone Bristol signal boxes. Absolutely fascinating. 8)
