Tracks to Disaster [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Every year hundreds of millions of passenger miles are safely accomplished and on time. Such is the rarity of a major incident on Britain's railway network that even the slightest accident becomes headline news. While society seems to tolerate several thousand fatalities a year on congested roads as being almost an acceptable price to pay for the freedom that the motor car allegedly offers, the most insignificant railway accident can dominate the news for days. In spite of - and perhaps because of - their scarcity, railway accidents have always generated great interest both among railway enthusiasts and the general public. In his latest examination of the issues of railway safety, former signalman Adrian Vaughan narrates in detail the causes and effects of many of the most recent railway accidents to have occurred on Britain's railways. Drawing upon exhaustive research and detailed analysis, the author provides a readable and cogent account of each of the accidents featured. Forthright in his views, Adrian Vaughan is an excellent guide through the often complex subject of railway safety in the modern age.
