Journeys to Forty of Britain's Loneliest Railway Stations is a captivating book written for both railway enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys travel literature. Illustrated with over 150 color and black & white photos, both contemporary and historical, the book takes readers on a journey to explore forty of the most isolated and desolate railway stations in Britain.
Author Peter Caton combines his love for remote places and his fascination with traveling on Britain's most interesting trains to visit these lonely stations. His travels take him to every corner of the country, from the summit of a snowy mountain to the moors, hills, and marshes, and even a mile out to sea, as he rides on some of the most scenic railway lines. Along the way, he uncovers fascinating stories of bizarre accidents, tales of human endeavor, and railway history.
Caton's journey takes him to stations that have closed before they officially existed, wonders why some survived, laments others that should never have been lost, and joins the battle to save one of his forty stations that is proposed for closure. He enjoys walks along deserted coastlines and countryside and discovers five stations that closed long ago. His choice covers a wide variety of stations, including a few on resurrected narrow gauge railways, and some are well-known, while others are obscure.
What sets Remote Stations apart is its combination of a railway theme with an easy-reading travel book. While the book is not heavy or technical in nature, it appeals to those who enjoy a leisurely reading experience describing journeys to some of the most remote parts of Britain. The book provides a glimpse into the history, culture, and charm of these forgotten stations, offering a unique perspective on the beauty and solitude of the British countryside.
Whether you are a railway enthusiast or a traveler who appreciates the beauty of remote places, Journeys to Forty of Britain's Loneliest Railway Stations is a must-read book that will transport you to the heart of Britain's railway heritage.
