Book excerpt: This book examines in words and pictures the network of British branch lines and other secondary routes that survived the mass closures of the 1960s. While nearly 4,000 route miles were lost between 1963 and 1970, the cuts were less severe than they might have been. Some lines were reprieved because of their social importance, even though they would never pay their way in purely commercial terms. They included some lengthy rural routes, such as those serving the Far North of Scotland, Central Wales and the Cumbrian Coast, as well as some urban backwaters such as Romford to Upminster and the St Albans Abbey branch. As the 1970s progressed, closures became scarce, but cost-cutting measures included the singling of some lines as well as scaled-down stations and simplified signalling. Yet even today, some pockets of traditional operation survive. Mechanical signal boxes still control many hundreds of miles across the network, in areas as diverse as West Cornwall, East Lincolnshire and South West Scotland. This book also celebrates several reopened and new lines, ranging from the major Borders Railway project in Scotland to the Stansted Airport and Barking Riverside branches in South East England - making the point that the branch line concept is far from dead.

Book excerpt: The joint railway lines of Britain have always provided a particular fascination for rail enthusiasts. These were railways that were operated by more than one company, and their origins lay in the hundreds of independent companies created in the nineteenth century that survived the Grouping in 1923 into the Big Four--GWR, LNER, LMS and SR--and maintained their independent status until nationalization after World War 2. The Midland & Great Northern and Cheshire Lines Committee was the largest of the Joint Railways and they operated their own rolling stock. More than fifty railway companies were not included in the Grouping, and each retained its unique atmosphere well into living memory. This latest volume in the highly popular Lost Lines series uncovers what can still be seen of the Joint Lines today with a detailed description and a host of historic and contemporary photographs as well as maps and memorabilia.
