Description
The Closed Lines of Britain: A Focus on Somerset is the latest volume in this series. The author has chosen to concentrate on the many closed lines from north of Yeovil, covering routes such as Chard, Langport, Witham, Cranmore, Mells, Shepton Mallett and the preserved West Somerset route. This book provides a detailed look at these lesser-known railway lines, which were once an integral part of Britain's transportation network. The author has deliberately excluded the Somerset and Dorset line, which is covered in detail elsewhere in the series. With 104 pages of photographs and information, this book offers a unique insight into the history and significance of these closed lines.
