"Life in Britain was revolutionised as the railways flourished in the nineteenth century. Cities were linked and the masses could travel; railway mania was born. Yet these early days were dramatically different to the present in terms of health and safety! In this fresh approach to railway history, Rosa Matheson explores the grim and grisly railway past. These horrible happenings include the lack of burial grounds for Londoner's dead, leading to the 'Necropolis Railway', disasters and accidents, digging up the dead, drowning in tunnels, fighting the last British 'Civil War' on the railway lines, and how the discovery of dynamite gave rise to the 'Dynamite Wars' on the London Underground in the 1880s and 1890s... long before the terrorist attacks of the twentieth century."@en . .
