A commemorative history of the railways of the beautiful
Oxfordshire district 'Vale of the White Horse', running
twenty-seven miles from Steventon to Wootton Bassett. The book
spans the history of the route from the opening in 1840 until 1965,
when British Rail withdrew all the local passenger services between
Didcot and Swindon and all the intermediate stations were closed.
With personal insight and images from railway historian Adrian
Vaughan, the book covers the Great Western Railway's development of
the route, as part of Brunel's 'Bristol Railway' and shows the
original correspondence between Brunel and his staff. Fully
illustrated with hundreds of historical photographs and detailed
track diagrams, Railways Through the Vale of the White Horse is an
ideal resource for anyone with an interest in this scenic railway
route and a nostalgia for the early days of railways in Britain.
