Published in hardback with illustrated dust jacket & filled with a mix of line drawings, black-&-white photographs & full-colour images, Britain from the Rails is ideal for gift or self-purchase with guaranteed appeal for leisure travellers & rail fanatics alike. There's a magical romance about train travel that no other form of transport can capture. Unlike other rail-based guides, this is not a backpacker's manual on how to travel cheaply & quickly & what to do once you get there. Instead, this is a leisurely sojourn around the country, an indulgent, care-free & relaxing journey which notices
- & explains
- what other guides don't. What to see from the train, historical anecdotes about the development of the railways, explanations of how the rail system works, railway traditions, branch line explorations, descriptions of the most scenic routes & a whole lot more are covered in a style which makes for a perfect armchair read, whether from home or on the rails. This is a travel classic of our times, the Wainwright of the rails.
