Description
The Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway Through Time by Steph Gillett offers a nostalgic look back at a fondly remembered railway line. Almost 60 years after closure, interest in the M&GNJR and its predecessors remains high. This fascinating book utilises rare and previously unpublished images to explore the history of the railway. The network of the former Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway system was largely closed by the end of February 1959, with some sections remaining open for passenger services until the mid-1960s. Today, only a single passenger service survives as part of the national network. Despite closure, much evidence of the railway remains, and sections of the trackbed provide pleasant walking and cycling routes. Steph Gillett's book provides a unique insight into this piece of history, using a range of images to bring the story to life.
