Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOMETIMES you come across a lofty railway viaduct, marooned in the middle of a remote country landscape. Or a crumbling platform from some once-bustling junction buried under the buddleia. If you are lucky you might be able to follow some rusting tracks, or explore an old tunnel leading to...well, who knows where? Listen hard. Is that the wind in the undergrowth? Or the spectre of a train from a golden era of the past panting up the embankment? These are the ghosts of The Trains Now Departed. They are the railway lines, and services that ran on them that have disappeared and gone forever. Our lost legacy includes lines prematurely axed, often with a gripping and colourful tale of their own, as well as marvels of locomotive engineering sent to the scrapyard, and grand termini felled by the wrecker's ball. Then there are the lost delights of train travel, such as haute cuisine in the dining car, the grand expresses with their evocative names, and continental boat trains to romantic far-off places. The Trains Now Departed tells the stories of some of the most fascinating lost trains of Britain, vividly evoking the glories of a bygone age. In his personal odyssey around Britain Michael Williams tells the tales of the pioneers who built the tracks, the yarns of the men and women who operated them and the colourful trains that ran on them. It is a journey into the soul of our railways, summoning up a magic which, although mired in time, is fortunately not lost for ever. THIS EDITION REVISED AND UPDATED TO INCLUDE MAPS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was in 1982 that, at the age of fifty-eight ... my railway career came to an end after forty-two years' service. I had seen many changes over the years ... it was not always easy to see the old traditions pass. Laurie Trowbridge's story begins at fabled Wolfhall Manor near Savernake Forest, where his father worked, and takes him through military training to the Coldstream Guards and duty as a 'redcap' in the Middle East at the end of World War II. His long career with Great Western Railway then British Railways took him first to a Booking Office then to the legal side and on to Welfare. Here, interactive skills, a measure of sympathy and a large dose of common sense helped him take railway staff and widows through the difficult upheavals of the Beeching years. His family life, though ultimately full of happiness, had its disappointments and upheavals too. Laurie's 'retirement' turned out to be a golden time of new working opportunities, family celebrations, a major move to Cornwall and the fellowship of a friendly community. Here is a life that encompasses nearly ninety years of enormous transformations in the make-up of our nation. Laurie's role in all this has been faithfully and entertainingly recorded in these pages. Born in Wiltshire in 1924, Laurie spent most of his early years as a country boy, before following a railway career in the West Country which lasted over forty-two years. Happily married to Barbara for over sixty years, he is quite content to be spending his twilight years in Cornwall.
