Great Railway Journeys: London to Oxford and London to Cambridge is
the fourth in Roger Mason's Great Railway Journeys series. It is a
fascinating record of things that can be seen from trains running
from London to the two great university cities. The London to
Oxford line includes Brunel's wonderful bridge over the Thames at
Maidenhead and the Didcot Railway Centre, which is a living museum
of the Great Western Railway. Included here is the story of how the
author of a world famous book left the manuscript in a cafe at
Reading Station. He had not kept a copy so he went home and wrote
it again. The London to Cambridge line includes Mountfitchet
Castle, a fabulous copy of the one that stood on the site shortly
after the reign of William the Conqueror. There is also the Eleanor
Cross at Waltham Cross, erected by Edward I in the 1290s as a
tribute to his late wife, Eleanor of Castile.
