About this title

Synopsis

Starting as a remote extension of the South Eastern Railway, it achieved considerable importance in two World Wars. As well as serving the local communities, it has carried hoards of holidaymakers - once to the South Coast but now to Gatwick Airport. The changing role of the railway is fully illustrated, as is the once nearby miniature Surrey Border and Camberley Railway. Includes 120 photographs, large scale maps, and other details of local history.
