Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The most intriguing and least known of Britain’s railways are the minor lines, including rural routes and branch lines—some still active if little-used, others long since lost—industrial and docks lines, and narrow gauge and miniature lines. These can be found in all corners of the country and represent, both historically and in modern terms, a delightful miscellany of the unusual and the quirky. Never seen before images of Britain’s unsung railways are accompanied by lively, informative text, exploring an institution once vital to the commercial and social life of Britain but now largely forgotten, abandoned by the changes in modern-day travel and transport habits.
