Passengers No More

Invaluable reference for anyone interested in the closed stations and railway lines of Great Britain. Even before Dr. Beeching and his ax, railways often closed lines as automobiles and buses made them uneconomical and as populations shifted from the country to the city. This book, intended to be used with Ian Allen's "Pre-Grouping Atlas and Gazeteer," shows the location of all the lines and stations no longer used, plus gives brief information on who owned them and when they closed. The book also includes almost 50 pages of black and white photos showing the lines when they were still being used. 144 pages.
