One of several Light Railways once under the control of the
legendary Colonel Stephens, the KESR was closed in stages between
1954 and 1961. Part was subsequently preserved, and the contrast
between the stretches left to nature and those brought back to life
by the preservationists is a clear tribute to more than 25 years of
progress.
This book talks about: main line through Carmarthen; Whitland to
Pembroke Dock; Clarbeston Road to Milford Haven and Fishguard;
closed line to Cardigan; and closed line from Llandilo to
Carmarthen.
This book talks about: Weymouth to Yeovil; Upwey to Abbotsbury;
Maiden Newton to Bridport West Bay; Weymouth Tramway; Weymouth to
Portland and Christchurch; Yeovil Junction to Gillingham; Swanage
Railway; and lines from Broadstone Junction.
'Passengers Once More' is the title of a new series of books to be
published by Silver Link. The series will cover the whole of Great
Britain and will be deliberately positive in its approach, as the
emphasis will be on reinstated or new stations and lines. The books
will be copiously illustrated with photographs at each location
featured. Data for each location will include opening, closing and
reopening dates, a map reference, the original railway company and
the train operating company currently managing the station.
Reference will also be made to photographs of the same location
published in the British Railways Past & Present series.
Captions will comment on the frequency of the service, reasons for
opening/reopening and other features as appropriate. Each book will
be arranged in line and geographical order. This first book in the
series, by Terry Gough, covers all lines and stations from Kent to
Cornwall. The second book, by the same author, covers Greater
London, Essex and counties to Gloucester. The third volume by John
Hillmer will cover Wales, the Border Counties and Merseyside.
Further volumes are in preparation. All of these books will cover
all relevant stations and lines from the smallest halt to the major
station developments such as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, now
referred to as High Speed 1.
The Tarka Line threads through beautiful Devon countryside from the
city of Exeter to the ancient market town of Barnstaple. The
Dartmoor Line leaves the Tarka Line near Crediton, and runs along
the northern edge of the Moor to Okehampton and Meldon. First
published in 1998, this book has been fully revised and updated,
with many photographs and now in colour. It features a wealth of
locations along the two routes, seen both yesterday and today, and
the comparisons will be of absorbing interest to anyone who uses
the line, passengers, rail enthusiasts, cyclists and walkers alike.
