The man who reshaped Britain's railways
Ernest Marples was one of the most controversial figures in British railway history. As Minister of Transport from 1959 to 1964, he presided over a period of radical change on the railways, including the infamous Beeching Report, which led to the closure of thousands of miles of track and the loss of tens of thousands of jobs.
Marples was a self-made man who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most powerful men in Britain. He was a brilliant politician and a ruthless businessman, but he was also a deeply flawed character, with a penchant for self-promotion and a disregard for the consequences of his actions.
In this gripping account, Anthony Howard and Charles Hawtrey tell the story of Ernest Marples and his impact on the British railways. They draw on a wealth of new material, including interviews with Marples's family, friends, and colleagues, to create a fascinating and revealing portrait of a complex and enigmatic figure.
