Written by Tom Ferris

This book has brought back memories, I actually travelled this line during steam days. Compact and very thought provoking photographs.
I have now acquired the complete collection by Tom Ferris to date. Enjoyable / Nostalgic

Amazon Review

Quick history and historic photos. Starts off with a history of the line and then gives at least one historic photo of each of the stations along the line. An easy read at a cheap price. Recommended for all who love historic railways.

Amazon review

Informative and interesting text. A short but enjoyable read. Good selection of photographs well reproduced on good quality paper. I also bought the Cambrian Coast book which is equally good.
