Description
Impermanent Ways: A Look at Lost Railway Infrastructure Across Britain. This book explores the wider aspects of railway infrastructure that has been lost in Britain, from signalboxes and former steam motive power depots to the final year of BR's steam operations. The author examines routes across the country, including those still operational today, such as the Bristol to Severn Beach line and the Ashford to Hastings route. The book takes a brief look at the North West of England in 1968, highlighting how much has changed since then. While some lines have been preserved, others have been significantly altered, offering a glimpse into how railway infrastructure has evolved over time. With its unique perspective on Britain's railway history, this book provides an interesting insight into the country's industrial past.
