Media Reviews
Praise for The Railway Adventures: 'If you want to have a railway adventure, this excellent book is the best place to start.' - Ian Marchant | 'This is a book which not only conveys the enthusiasm and love the two of them have for our railway network, but really does make you want to take a train journey somewhere just for pleasure and to appreciate some of the history and even the hidden stories behind the stations, the busy main lines and quiet rural routes around the country.' -The Railway Magazine
