Railways: Nation, Network and People

Description

The railways. Thousands of route-miles fenced off from the rest of the country, carved into landscapes barely changed since Shakespeare’s time and ruled by their own mysterious rhythms and laws. From the classical architecture of Newcastle Station to the unrelenting traffic and expanse of Clapham Junction and the lost stations of Oban and Challow, Simon Bradley explores the landscape of the railways, the trains, and the passengers who pass through it.
