The "District" was a noteworthy railway, the second underground railway in London. This through yet accessible history details the full history of the company that formed the nucleus of present-day London Transport, following its expansion over the years until World War II. Covers its persistent battles with the Metropolitan, the feud between Sir Edward Watkin and James Staats Forbes, the activity of American financier Charles Tyson Yerkes, the introduction of the third and fourth rail 600 volt system of electric traction, and of automatic signalling controlled by track circuits on electric railways. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. With chronology, list of stations, list of executives, and several maps. 64 pages with index.
