Well-selected geographic and historic cross-section of the publicly-accessible disused lines in the U. K. I appreciated the historical background of the immediate area, as well the author's interviews with older locals who were familiar with the line when it operated - many of his interviewees were former employees living nearby. I didn't so much appreciate the technical aspects, though railfans would. A great book if you're going to be picking it up to read a chapter or two at a time; after a couple of entries, the stories can begin to run together.
