Expert railway enthusiast Ben le Vay returns with a new edition of
his much-acclaimed guide to discovering Britain from the rails.
This latest edition adds new lines and destinations in Britain's
fast-changing railway, while updating the guide to the classic
greats. Thoroughly updated, it includes a full, fascinating guide
to the new Borders Railway in Scotland, plus details of the new
route from London to Oxford and expanded coverage of the eccentric
Jolly Fisherman line in Lincolnshire and the charming Cotswold line
from Oxford to Hereford. Also included are more details of the Far
North line from Inverness to Wick and Thurso. 'Now, finally, the
network has a book to be proud of!' So said one reviewer of the
first edition. Branch lines and 'secret railways' are covered, and
so too are the popular routes such as the glorious East Coast main
line to Scotland and the Great Western to Penzance. Regional treats
include the famed West Highland Line in Scotland, the Settle and
Carlisle railway in the north of England, and entire chapters
dedicated to 'Wales Rails' and 'East Anglia: A Circular Tour'.
Additional information ranges from the practical - such as a guide
to the layout of some of the country's main termini - to the
'Inside Track: a window-gazer's guide to stuff to look out for on
your journey' and intriguing train trivia. The best historic and
preserved railways are also included, as are Ben's Top Ten Rail
Journeys. Ben le Vay says: 'There are endless books about trains,
about the history of the railways, about stations, signal boxes,
carriages, wagons. as specialist as you like. There are also myriad
books about British cities and countryside, about what is wonderful
and fascinating about different patches of our unique island. But
there were none that successfully combined the one type of book
with the other (after all, you look at the country while sitting on
trains) until now. And this is I do with deep knowledge, love and
enthusiasm for both parts.'
