With over 100 illustrations throughout, Anthony Dawson's account offers a comprehensive and engaging overview of this beloved railway line, covering topics such as its construction, operation, accidents, and the memories of those who worked on it. A must-have for railway enthusiasts, The Woodhead Route is an illuminating volume that sheds new light on a piece of British history.
