There is a small amount of foxing on the fep and page endings. With the success of the Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, the great Railway visionary, Edward Watkin progressed with his dream of linking Manchester with Paris by way of London and the Channel Tunnel. Thus the Great Central was born. The route then served as one of England's major Railways and this book was published to coincide with the twentieth Anniversary of its ceasing to play that role. Further to this Marylebone station itself has been very much under the threat of closure, though with its recent revival due to the steam specials to Stratford-on-Avon, it looks secure for some time to come.
