England used to enjoy one of the most comprehensive railway
networks in Europe. By the last decade of the 19th century there
was hardly a hamlet in the land which could not be reached by train
itself or after a brief ride in a pony and trap from the nearest
station. However, the improved reliability and sheer convenience of
internal combustion engined road vehicles brought competition to
the railways which caused a steady and persistent decline in
freight and passengers throughout the second half of the 20th
century. By then the railways, initially funded by private
enterprise, had been nationalized as a state asset. This left the
state paying for trains which ran at a loss for lack of goods and
people to fill them. During the late 1950s and throughout the
1960s, successive governments sought to staunch this outflow of
funds by closing thousands of miles of railway lines and hundreds
of stations.Many of these were branch lines, that is a track
leaving the main line to serve a specific place but going no
further. At a stroke, large parts of the huge 19th-century civil
engineering effort which went into building the network were
redundant and, once any salvage of value was removed, duly
abandoned. By and large, it was not economic to reinstate the
cuttings, embankments and bridges built to give the most straight
and level route possible for each line.What is left of these
abandoned lines can offer rewarding walks through the heart of the
countryside, away from roads and traffic, rich in flora and fauna
and littered with dramatic examples of Victorian civil engineering.
In short, there is something to the taste of the routine walker and
the railway enthusiast. For either type they are best done twice,
once in summer and once in winter. The summer will show what grows
where the plow and the sprayer to not go, while the winter will
show the detail of what was built, well over a century ago. This
book features 12 of these walks throughout Gloucestershire and
Wiltshire.
