About the book >.>.> This eventful conclusion of George Dow’s majestic trilogy embraces the his- tories of two railways one based on Wrexham and the other on Chesterfield and of a travel agency. Dean & Dawson which became parts of the Great Central empire early in the century. In chronicling the com- pany’s rise as a trunk system the scene inevitably revolves around Sam Fay who was appointed its General Man- ager in 1902 and held that position until the end of its independent existence. Fay was one of the greatest of all railway general managers and his character ‘warts and all’ is dealt with in these pages for the first time. The author joined the LNER in 1927 and is a Div- isional Manager of British Railways. He has served on the Boards of four railway- associated bus companies and on two Transport Users’ Consultative Committees. Writing transport history is one of his hobbies.
