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.
