A Visual History of Railway Rolling Stock in Great Britain
by Gaelan Steele , with help
more info
Screen reader users: the rest of this page is, unfortunately, highly
visual—it's a timeline of train classes, with arrows connecting related classes.
I've tried to add screen-reader-only text so at least all the information's
present, but I won't pretend it's anywhere near as useful as the visual form.
If you have any thoughts on how to present this sort of thing in a more
screen-reader-friendly way, do let me know.
