Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sorely neglected by railway authors, the line between Bristol and Taunton was part of the Bristol & Exeter Railway. A fascinating line, it was built to serve a moribund coalfi eld and a grand harbour scheme which proved a dismal failure. The line had many interesting features: two short dock branches, one of which had a telescopic bridge; several industrial concerns with their own locomotives; vital wartime factories; the busy holiday and excursion traffi c to Weston-super-Mare, which required a special station. Wind strength had its effect on the railway, as on the horse-worked Weston-super-Mare branch, when an adverse wind blew it was quicker to get out and walk. The line has also had more than its fair share of accidents and mishaps. The B&ER favoured express tank locomotives, some magnifi cent specimens with 9-foot-diameter fl angeless driving wheels. The human side is not to be ignored, however: there are details of navvies' lives and deaths, of a spat between Brunel and his resident engineer, and the daring robbery of a mail train. Colin G. Maggs, one of the country's leading railway historians, covers all these details and more in this gripping and well-researched story, illustrated with over 200 images.

Book excerpt: For many the GWR was synonymous with holidays by the sea in the West Country, but it was built to serve as a fast railway line to London, especially for the merchants and financiers of Bristol. Its operations stretched as far as Merseyside, it provided most services in Wales, and it was the main line to Cardiff, Bristol, Cornwall and Birmingham. This book, a classic first published in 2006, reveals the equipment, stations, network, shipping and air services, bus operations including Western National, and overall reach and history of the GWR. Forming part of a series, along with The LMS Handbook, The LNER Handbook and The Southern Railway Handbook, this new edition provides an authoritative and highly detailed reference of information about the GWR.
