Pages : 548
Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Inland Transport and Communication in England Incidentally, also, allusion is made to the rise of Bristol, Lynn, Liverpool, and various other ports; the early history of the textile industries, the cutlery trades, the iron trade, the salt trade, and the coal trade is brie y sketched, while the facts narrated in relation thereto should enable the reader to realise the bearing, throughout the ages, of State policy towards the general question of transport. Finally, the present situation and the future outlook are brought under review. Even as these pages are passing through the press new developments are occurring which confirm the suggestion I have made, on page 470, that in the dictionary of trans port there is no such word as 'finality.' While it is still true that the electrification of the London suburban railways has not been generally adopted by the trunk companies, yet the scheme in this connection announced, on November 18, 1911, by the London and north-western Railway Company (see page 507) supplementing the action already taken by the London, Brighton and South Coast Rail way Company in regard to some of their suburban lines, is significant of a growing determination on the part of the great railway companies to defend their own interests by competing, in turn, with the electric tramways, which have absorbed so much of the suburban traffic of late years.
