Home to one of the earliest railways in the country, the Leicester & Swannington, Leicestershire was for many years almost a private fiefdom of the Midland Railway, though later other companies made inroads. This was an area rich in mineral wealth with both coal and iron ore deposits providing much freight traffic. Today, the GC and the GN & LNWR joint lines have been completely closed, although a section of the former survives as the preserved Great Central, based at Loughborough.

The Southern Electric system was a self contained, roughly triangular area of lines with its apex in London and its base running along the south coast from Kent to Weymouth. It also made a couple of forays into Middlesex. Here, in some 196 previously unpublished color photographs, is shown not only the variety of unit types that were around during the first twenty years since railway privatization, but also the fact that on some services, Southern Electric types have penetrated the Home Counties whilst others have migrated to join their ranks.
