Boat Trains: English Channel and Ocean Liner Specials
History, Development and Operation
Martyn PringPostscript summary
For over 125 years the boat train provided a vital connection between rail and sea travel. Focusing on the services running between stations in southern England and ports serving Belgium, France, the Channel Islands and transatlantic steamships, this illustrated survey traces their development alongside the rise of luxury travel, organized tourism and day excursions, showing how railways and shipping lines coordinated increasingly complex journeys.
