Discovering Britain's Little Trains By Julian Holland, UK Travel

Written by one of the UK's most respected railway writers, Julian Holland, this photographic guide contains photographs of the lines from past to present and remarkable archive pictures. The perfect gift for railway enthusiasts the book takes the reader on a nostalgic trip to the eccentric world of Britain's narrow gauge railways, including every aspect of the lines, their trains and the people who worked on and used them.

Julian Holland's fascinating text is accompanied by nostalgic photographs and ephemera of both closed and reopened lines in their heyday, along with specially
commissioned colour photographs of what can be seen today, simple route maps, and information panels on recognised footpaths, cycleways and nearby attractions of interest to railway enthusiasts. This book has 160 pages and is 26.3 x 26.3 x 1.7 cm
