In this excellently written and well researched book, author Stan Yorke tells the story of the now lost lines - the reason for their construction and for their closure.

Format:Paperback
Bought this 'on spec', but I'm glad I did. Some recent railway books have been all pictures with captions - not this one. Stan Yorke has supplied a good mix of old photos (monochrome naturally!) and text, with interesting snippets and stories about the people involved in Somerset's railway lines and stations. Some of these reveal how different life and attitudes were 'in them days'. Good value - I might be drawn to some of the other 'Lost Railways of' titles in this series when I've finished this one.
Format:Paperback
Excellent book, I own the full set, and it, like the rest is a very interesting read for the expert and the general reader interested in the lost railways of their local area.
Listmania!
