Sinossi
Julian Holland provides a collection of first-hand accounts from people whose lives have been changed by the fortunes of Britain's railways. Full of personal anecdote and human interest, each one of the 45 stories—many never published before—provides a wealth of anecdote about historical and social change in Britain as well as some humorous encounters. From the 19th-century Eton Master who wants to keep his boys from the "evils" of the new railway to the reminiscences of a woman train driver in the 1980s, this is the first book of its kind to give a mouthpiece to the forgotten voices of Britain's railway heritage.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This collection of over 70 first-hand accounts gives fresh insight into the social changes brought about by our railways. The anecdotes gathered within this book include William Wordsworth's complaint about a proposed line through the Lake District, an engine driver's reward for transporting Queen Victoria, a signalman's brush with Winston Churchill, an anonymous poem about a romantic branch line journey, and the personal reminiscences of a woman train driver. All of these voices, some famous, others previously unheard, give a mouthpiece to this unique period in history for the very first time. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR005251008
