British Railways Past & Present' is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago & comparing them with the same scene today Such is the current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years can reduce a busy & vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or housing estate
- or conversely can bring electrification & up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated run-down route The contrasts are often dramatic while sometimes hardly anything has altered in 30 or 40 years Whatever the change the comparison of 'past' & 'present' will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast & historian but also anyone interested in our recent history This will be the 5th volume in the series to visit the county of Devon The previous volumes in the series being No 8 Devon No 52 East Devon No 53 North & West Devon No 67 Plymouth & South West Devon Such has been the popularity of both Devon & the series as a whole you can be sure of a ready & waiting audience for this brand new volume looking at the major railway centre of Newton Abbot & its environs Newton Abbott has a fascinating railway history having in the past had a railway workshop & several branch line connections Even today the railway is an important part of the transport infrastructure
