Known as the gateway to the North, the East Coast Main Line, which runs from London to Edinburgh, passes through multiple counties on its more than 390-mile high-speed run to the North. This book looks at the first leg of this journey from London, starting at King's Cross station, to the Cambridgeshire city of Peterborough. With a wealth of previously unpublished images, Adam Head takes the reader on a journey along this famous stretch of Britain's railways, documenting the variety of stock and movements that can be encountered in almost 200 photographs, each supported by an informative caption.
