The Complete Great British Railway Journeys

Great British Railway Journeys and Great Victorian Railway Journeys published in one volume for the first time. Great British Railway Journeys provides a glorious insight into the history, landscape and people of Britain from the window of Britain's many and magnificent railway journeys. Great British Railway Journeys features nine well-known railway lines, which showcase the incredible impact the railways had on Victorian Britain and their lasting legacy today. The railway has played a crucial part in shaping the course of British history. It turned sleepy fishing villages into bustling seaside resorts, brought post, beer and chocolate to the masses, evacuated thousands of children during the Second World War, inspired feats of engineering and launched Britian into an industrial revolution that dramatically transformed the nation's future.
