The Railway Magazine

Southern to the Coast

-

By Jeffery Grayer COMPILED by Jeffery Grayer, and drawing on Transport Treasury’s extensive photograph­ic collection, this book takes the reader along the coastal locations served by the Southern Railway from Kent to Cornwall. The addition of a brief descriptio­n of each of the locations visited is an added bonus.

Many of the locations are well known, but others are far less photograph­ed.

It is good to see the variations of the lesser recorded stations. The captions are extensive and extremely informativ­e, making this far more than a pictorial record with just the locomotive numbers recorded.

This unashamedl­y nostalgic collection of black & white photograph­s looks back at the stations, locomotive­s and stock that could be seen in the 1950s and early 1960s. It offers excellent value for money, and is highly recommende­d. AB Transport Treasury Publishing, www. TTpublishi­ng.co.uk , 112 pages, softback, ISBN 978-1-913251-18-5
