About this title

Synopsis

Charming and entertaining survey of the British railways that this enthusiastic father and son (both professional writers) enjoyed over the course of 65 years. There are descriptions of trains from all over the country, both main lines and branch lines, standard gauge and narrow gauge. There is the Midland at the turn of the century, the building of the Great Central, the rise and fall of cross-country trains, the beauty of city stations like Bristol Temple Meads and the lure of smaller ones hidden in the country, and delightful descriptions of journeys -- by goods trains, by steam on the South Western, and down a branch line in a blizzard. Illustrated with pen and ink sketches and 24 pages of black and white photographs. 200 pages with index.
