This page is not an electronic copy of the book that you can read for free; if you want the book, you'll have to buy it. Rather, it contains some details of why and how the book was written, various things that I didn't have space to put in the book or were too detailed for the expected reader, a piece I wrote for Modern Railways, and - regrettably - errata. </P><BR> </TD></TR> <TD VALIGN="TOP"> <P><A HREF="rail/culg/"><IMG SRC="images/culg-s.gif" ALT="" ALIGN="left"> Clive's UndergrounD Line Guides</A> - a line-by-line guide to the features and history of London's Underground.
