'British Railways Past and Present' is a nationwide series of books
featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades
ago and comparing them with the same scene today. Such is the
current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years
can reduce a busy and vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or
housing estate - or conversely can bring electrification and
up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated, run-down route. The
contrasts are often dramatic, while sometimes hardly anything has
altered in 30 or 40 years. Whatever the change, the comparison of
'past' and 'present' will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast
and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history. In
this volume covering South Gloucestershire are over 175 photographs
featuring a wealth of locations on both Ex-Great Western and LMS
Main Lines during the British Railways era and before contrasted
with the scene in recent times. Many erstwhile routes and locations
closed in the 'Beeching years' and before are seen when trains
still plied their trade and the wayside station provided a local
service even over short distances.
