chant shipping. The railways mobilised troops. transported munitions. evacuated children from cities and kept vital food supplies moving where other forms of transport failed. Railwaymen and women performed outstanding acts of heroism. Nearly 400 workers were killed at their posts and another 2.400 injured in the line of duty. Another 3.500 railwaymen and women died in action. The trains themselves played just as vital a role. The famous Flying Scotsman train delivered its passengers to safety after being pounded by German bombers and strafed with gunfire from the air.

Trains transported millions to and from work each day and sheltered them on underground platforms at night. a refuge from the bombs above. Without the railways. there would have been no Dunkirk evacuation and no D-Day.Michael Williams. author of the celebrated book On the Slow Train. has written an important an

Churchill himself certainly did not underestimate their importance to the wartime story when. in 1943. he praised ‚the unwavering courage and constant resourcefulness of railwaymen of all ranks in contributing so largely towards the final victory.’ And what a story it is. The railway system during the Second World War was the lifeline of the nation. replacing vulnerable road transport and mer
