Living not far from the Severn Valley Railway, I have caught the Steam Railway “Bug” and being a keen Steam Railway Enthusiast I have read & enjoyed both “Discovering Britain’s Lost Railways” & “Along Lost Lines” by Paul Atterby. I would also like to read “Branch Line Britain“, “Along Country Lines” & “Tickets Please” which are all written by the same author.
