East Coast Electrics-An Alternative British Railway
An artists illustration of a class 81 electric loco, presumably at London Kings Cross awaiting departure for Leeds.
Yes, this is my third timeline on the go. I just can't help myself. If your wondering what has become of Thatcher Survives-So does British Rail or A Summer's Day in 1999- they're coming along well and will be updating them soon.
This is a timeline I came up with yesterday and wrote almost all of it in one day-so updates with this timeline will be speedy. In short, the POD is 1959, and the original plan for East Coast Mainline electrification goes ahead alongside West Coast Mainline electrification. Meaning we see wires along the east coast of Great Britain 25 years earlier than in our timeline.
Does this mean there are no Deltics? Yes, Deltics are never made in this timeline.
So hopefully you like my 1950s/60s inspired artwork and how this alternative British railway system unfolds in the decades ahead...
