With images of protests, last trains and the subsequent dereliction, personal anecdotes and stories and the 13 maps used by Dr Beeching to explain his plans, Julian Holland presents a vivid picture of this dramatic and drastic shake-up of Britain's railways.
Traces the history of the area's railway lines from their opening in the 19th century, their heyday at the turn of the century, and in many cases, their closure in the 20th century.
