Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Come with us and explore our wonderful countryside on your bike. We'll take you along peaceful country lanes, down half-forgotten paths and trackways through fields and woods, and along the banks of rivers and canals. You'll discover unspoilt out-of-the-way places that most people will never find. You'll see the natural world of the country at close quarters, with its endless variety of trees and plants, birds, farm animals, and wild creatures like foxes and deer. We've planned these rides to be suitable for ordinary people, including families with children, so you won't need to be an athlete to enjoy them. The shorter routes of up to 10 miles are ideal for a half-day's outing, while the longer rides will suit those looking for something more ambitious. Or, if you want an even greater challenge, you can always combine two or more of the routes into one ride! Whichever ride you choose, you're certain to discover new sights, and you'll probably see a few familiar places in an entirely new light. All the ride descriptions include fascinating stories and background information about the places and features of interest you'll pass along the way, as well as providing clear and comprehensive directions to keep you on the right track. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. For over 50 years myths have abounded about the closure of the Westerham branch line. This explosive new account investigates how British Railways managers went about closing a well-loved branch line. Using official papers and documents kept hidden for many years, the book reveals how users of the line almost managed to keep it open and that BR had even started to electrify it only for Ernest Marples, the controversial Minister of Transport, to insist that closure must go ahead. Starting with a history of the branch line from Westerham through Brasted and Chevington to Dunton Green, we learn of the difficulties experienced before it opened for traffic in July 1881. However, by 1960 competition from buses meant that the railway was reportedly losing 26,000 a year and the last public services ran in October 1961. Pressure persuaded British Railways to grant a local interest group permission to lease the railway, a decision later rescinded in view of plans for what would become the M25 motorway.This unhappy story is now laid bare: warts and all. The book exposes how, when local people and enthusiasts tried to bring their railway back to life, civil servants and BR managers were panicked by the prospect that a preserved Westerham line might prove local railways could be run more efficiently, at the time when the government was determined to sacrifice the rail network upon the altar of an upgraded road system. It describes the deception and increasingly underhand methods that were used to block the scheme and how the truth of the closure This new major study covers the history, politics and purported underhand methods used to destroy a valuable railway destined to be sacrificed upon the altar of the modern road network.
