Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine… E. M. Forster The world’s first public railway, the Stockton & Darlington Railway, opened in the northeast of England in 1825 and marked the start of rail travel in Britain and across the world. Over the following two centuries the rail network expanded over the country and led to the construction of some of the most spectacular examples of British architecture and engineering.
Through a selection of 14 varied journeys, this book takes the reader on a breathtaking illustrated tour of Britain’s rail network, taking in stations, bridges, viaducts and other architectural elements, but also the people and personalities associated with them. This beautiful and engaging book is filled with stunning illustrations by the author and will appeal to anyone with an interest in Britain’s railway history and architecture.
