  A History of the Hull and...

  The line opened in 1846-7 to serve an agricultural area adjacent to the East Riding coast, but soon developed a booming tourist trade for Bridlington and Filey.  Tourism peaked around the early 1900s, but gradually declined to almost disappear by the late 1960s.

  A Narrow Gauge View of North...

  Most of the narrow gauge railways in North Wales were built primarily to transport slate within the quarries and to ports for transhipment to other parts of the UK and overseas.  A few were built for the carriage of general merchandise and passengers, and two were built solely for tourists – a function which all the surviving lines now perform.

  The Hidden Railways of...

  This book looks at the lines around Portsmouth Harbour that were operated mainly by the Admiralty and the Military, far from the public gaze.  These secretive systems were often obscured by high walls, and most glimpses would have been through closely-guarded gates, with the occasional sight of a train joining the main line.

  The Salisbury and Dorset...

  The Salisbury & Dorset Junction Railway was built to consolidate the LSWR’s domination of Hampshire and south Dorset, and to keep the GWR away from Bournemouth.  It also gave Salisbury businessmen a more direct route to Poole and Weymouth.  Almost half of the 18½-mile route was in Dorset, with less than five miles apiece in Wiltshire and Hampshire.

  Southampton's Quayside Steam

  Southampton has long been famous for its docks, but the port also spreads along the banks of the rivers Test and Itchen.  Here, lesser wharves have seen their share of rail traffic, and along the whole waterfront, cargoes were moved for over a hundred years by a varied assortment of steam locomotives working behind the scenes.

  The Alnwick Branch

  The historic town of Alnwick sits almost midway between Newcastle and Berwick in the county of Northumberland.  Although close to the east coast main line, it was served by a branch line for nearly 120 years.  Along with its famous castle and gardens, Alnwick boasted a majestic trainshed, all the more remarkable for being on a mere branch line.

  The Amble Branch

  Northumberland, steeped in ancient history and with a stunning coastal beauty, also has an industrial heritage.  Thanks to George Stephenson, railways were born here, and although much has been written about the county’s railways, one line – the branch line to Amble – has escaped detailed attention over the years.
