Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the 1960s and 1970s Britain was devastated by railway closures and many parts of the country were left without any kjind of railway service. The timetables of the 1950s and early 1960s are therefore filled with journeys which are now either impracticable or impossible, and the landscape of Britain is scattered with the remains of abandoned railways. [This book] is not just about closed lines, it is about memory, nostalgia and imagination. Walking old railways is now a national [pastime], while many miles of lost lines have also been saved as preserved or heritage railways. ..."--Back cover.

Book excerpt: The London and North Eastern Railway, or LNER as it was familiarly known, was one of the Big Four companies that took control of Britain's railway network following the 'Grouping' in 1923. This network represented a challenging mixture of mainline and rural passenger routes, suburban services, and freight and industrial lines across the east coast of England and Scotland. Despite this challenge, the LNER became famous for its style, speed and efficiency, with record-breaking high-speed routes capturing the public's imagination, supported by iconic locomotives such as the Flying Scotsman and Mallard. Full of beautiful photographs, this is a perfect introduction to one of Britain's best-loved railway operators during the Age of Steam.
