Details |
'The ever rising tide'. War production is rising like the tide and the need for rail transport rises with it. But this increase in traffic is only one of the Railways' many wartime loads. The gigantic task of dispersing to all parts of the country, men and materials from overseas falls on the railways, and they too must fit into the running schedules the 7,000 special workers' trains run each week as they have fitted in the 150,000 special trains for military personnel and equipment since the beginning of the War. Such is the task of British Railways, day in day out, the 24 hours round.
