Initially intrigued by the social polarisation of neighbourhoods along the line, the story became a meandering one with seemingly no end - until the Kodachrome film with which I shot it was discontinued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work has emerged from my archives as a reflection of the emptiness of the Blair years, and a tacit indictment of rail privatisation: The Railways Act of 1993 was the last significant act of the Tory administrations which preceded him, and Labour failed to fulfil their promise to repeal it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also a celebration of those who knew Silverlink. It ends with an essay written by Panik, a graffiti artist, whose ATG crew were well known on the line. His standing as the son of a senior member of the train workers union gives his perceptive and deeply personal analysis of the changing London we witnessed added poignancy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gully Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50651626897746,"sku":"","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/0911\/8290\/files\/SILVERLINK.webp?v=1745663495","url":"https:\/\/www.gullybooks.shop\/products\/simon-wheatley-silverlink","provider":"Gully Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
