South Eastern & Chatham Railways

A Marriage of Convenience

by Adrian Gray M.A.

After decades of bitter feuding, the two Kent railway companies were united in an uneasy marriage. The following decades are a story of a desperate struggle to win profits and public confidence, fought against a background of increased road congestion and the First World War. It is the story of a railway company and the people who ran it at a pivotal point in British railway history.
