End of the Line: British railway closures from 1948 to Beeching
Covering the period from the birth of British Railways in 1948 to the Beeching era and beyond, The Times End of the Line chronologically traces the history over 400 long-forgotten railway lines, region by region, from their opening to closure and, in a few cases, to reopening.
This book details every closed route, including:
The Waverely Route from Edinburgh to Carlisle - an important Anglo-Scottish mainline
The Great Central Railway from Marylebone to Sheffield - Britain's last mainline to be built in the 19th century
The Withered Arm in North Cornwall - a holiday route that was also an alternative rail link between Exeter and Plymouth
Across the Pennines between Darlington and Penrith
Three Railways to Brecon: from Neath, Hereford and Merthyr
