Quote from book: -
"For many years, following the electrification of the suburban services, Southern Region continued to run steam-haul express trains from Waterloo. This is a photographic record of the wide variety of types which were at work in the 1950s and 1960s in the area from Waterloo to Weymouth, Salisbury and Portsmouth Not only are famous expresses, such the 'Bournemouth Belle' and the 'Atlantic Coast Express' to be seen herein, but also included are the more humble, but no less interesting, cross country and branch passenger trains, together with the vital freight and parcels traffic of the South and West."
 

The book is a delightful record in pictures of the trains of this period mostly showing the engines and the carriages in black and white. Each plate is accompanied by description.

Quote from book: -

"This nostalgic, evocative book looks back to the world of the narrow gauge railway when it was in its heyday. During his employment with the London and North Eastern Railway from 1924 to 1928, Humphrey Household travelled around many of the narrow gauge lines, armed with notebook and camera, and was thus uniquely placed to capture the particular qualities of the lines and the locomotives and the lives of the railwaymen who worked them. Based upon his collection of photographs, many never published before, and the original notes he took at the time, this is a superb record of the narrow gauge railways at their peak, and the railway stations which were still then an important part of village life. Full of anecdote and detail, it tells the history of the lines and also discusses the subsequent battles for their preservation and their future development."

A wonderful visual record of railways in Wales at the beginning of the last century and would also be of interest to those whose families were involved with the railways in Wales.
