Description
Hardcover: 128 pages A pictorial gallery of over two hundred photographs showcasing the Great Western Railway/British Railways (Western) branch lines and services between 1900 and 1965. This collection features images taken by the author and provided by transport charities, many of which have never been published or seen online before. The photographs depict working trains surrounded by recognizable infrastructure, often with station nameboards visible, offering a nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era. Most of the branch lines featured were closed as part of the 1960s "Beeching Axe", and the scenes reflect a more leisurely way of life than exists today. The collection includes both steam-operated trains and early diesel railcars/multiple units. This unique gallery is likely to be of particular interest to railway modelers and those who enjoy nostalgic views of the past.
