2.0 out of 5 stars Journeys by Excursion Train, 31 Oct 2003
By Miss M J Howe (St Anne's-on-sea, Lancs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Really excellent, packed with wonderfully enigmatic photographs structured in a way as to take you on a virtual journey. A must for all steam addicts and for students or anyone with an interest in the social history of 1960`s Britain. The dialogue covers not just the railway scene but the entertainment, the fashions etc, highlighting the "permanence" of the era and a sort of naivety that everything was going to continue just like this for ever .... of course it wasn`t. It was the beginning of the end for the railway and life as we knew it. One quickly senses what an obvious passionate nostalgia that Stuart Taylor has for this quiet, less ego-centric, charming period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reader review, 21 Sep 2009
By Jc Drew - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is another excellent volume giving a unique insight into the railways of East Lancashire in the 50's and 60's. The majority of photos have not been seen in other works, and the format of a journey from Colne is well put together. It will have a special appeal to those of us who lived in that area during the 50's and 60's and were interested not only in the railway, but also the industries and the culture that it supported and relied on. The popularity of Stuart Taylor's books can be judged by the gradually increasing price of used volumes. As with many others, I am waiting for the 'Blackburn's Railways' volume 2 and his volume looking at the excursion routes as they declined in the mid '60's onwards.
