Description
'If you want to have a railway adventure, this excellent book is the best place to start' Ian Marchant, author of Parallel Lines
The railways are one of our finest engineering legacies - a web of routes connecting people to each other and to a vast network of world-class attractions. It is also the best route to enjoying the landscape of Great Britain.
Within these pages Vicki Pipe and Geoff Marshall from All the Stations (YouTube transport experts and survivors of a crowd-funded trip to visit all the stations in the UK) help you discover the hidden stories that lie behind branch lines, as well as meeting the people who fix the engines and put the trains to bed.
Embark on unknown routes, disembark at unfamiliar stations, explore new places and get to know the communities who keep small stations and remote lines alive.

Reviews / Votes
'This is a book which not only conveys the enthusiasm and love the two of them have for our railway network, but really does make you want to take a train journey somewhere just for pleasure and to appreciate some of the history and even the hidden stories behind the stations, the busy main lines and quiet rural routes around the country' Railway magazineMore details
