Book Synopsis Lost Railways of Cumbria by : Gordon Suggitt
Download or read book Lost Railways of Cumbria written by Gordon Suggitt and published by Countryside Books (GB). This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the very beginning, the geography of Cumbria conspired to prevent the spread of railways. The majority of lines were built to transport freight, but many developed passenger services. Sadly the railway age was not to last, local demand was simply not enough to keep many of the lines in operation and the services were doomed. Happily, some lines have been preserved by enthusiastic societies and reopened sections of track flourish. This well written and excellently researched book brings to life the history of Cumbria's railways. With photographs and specially drawn maps.
Book Synopsis Cumbria's Lost Railways by : Peter W. Robinson
Download or read book Cumbria's Lost Railways written by Peter W. Robinson and published by Stenlake Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decline of Cumbria's railway network began long before Dr. Beeching and during the 50s and 60s it was feared that it would disappear all together. By the 1990s however, it was clear that an amazing recovery was underway, with the reopening of many stations and the restoration of many freight services. Today, there is an upgraded West Coast main line and much improved high speed passenger services. Once upon a time however, there was a far bigger network which operated at a much more relaxed - and refined - pace. Featuring around 52 superb period photographs, this volume recalls the sights of that bygone era, including the long-lost Solway Viaduct, the Settle and Carlisle route, and the many rural stations that were once the lifeblood of Cumbrian communities.

Book Synopsis Images of Cumbrian Railways by : John Marsh
Download or read book Images of Cumbrian Railways written by John Marsh and published by Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work displays a large number of previously unseen railway photographs from the remote county of Cumbria that show life on lines that are still in use and later what has now disappeared from the railway scene. This volume contains an opportunity to see a new collection of pictures of these lost railway lines in action with many nostalgic views of railways destroyed by shortsighted planning. That many of these lost lines are now being restored surely says much about their closure. The plans for restoration now include the Waverley line, the Appleby to Kirkby Stephen 'North Eastern' line and the Penrith to Keswick line.
Book Synopsis Tracing Lost Railways by : Trevor Yorke
Download or read book Tracing Lost Railways written by Trevor Yorke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drastic railway closures of the 1960s led to the slow decay and re-purposing of hundreds of miles of railway infrastructure. Though these buildings and apparatus are now ghosts of their former selves, countless clues to our railway heritage still remain in the form of embankments, cuttings, tunnels, converted or tumbledown wayside buildings, and old railway furniture such as signal posts. Many disused routes are preserved in the form of cycle tracks and footpaths. This colourfully illustrated book helps you to decipher the fascinating features that remain today and to understand their original functions, demonstrating how old routes can be traced on maps, outlining their permanent stamp on the landscape, and teaching you how to form a mental picture of a line in its heyday.

Book Synopsis Feet in the Clouds by : Richard Askwith
Download or read book Feet in the Clouds written by Richard Askwith and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A masterpiece’ The Sunday Times ‘The pure essence of trail running, infectious and captivating’ Scott Jurek, bestselling author of Eat and Run ‘One of the best books about the extremes of sporting endeavour that you will ever read’ Independent on Sunday Twenty years since it was first published, Feet in the Clouds by Richard Askwith remains the definitive story of fell-running and a modern sports classic. Richard Askwith’s journey takes him into a world of forbidding rocky hills, horizontal rain, fear, exhaustion and stunning natural beauty, as well as one of the sport's purest and toughest challenges: the Bob Graham Round, running 42 Lake District peaks in 24 hours. Along the way, he encounters some of the most prodigious – and unsung – athletes that Britain has produced, such as Joss Naylor, who covered the equivalent of four Everests in a single run. Gripping, funny and moving, Feet in the Clouds is a story that any aspiring runner, endurance athlete or mountain-lover will understand well: of extremity, heroism and the experience of a lifetime. With a fully revised epilogue and an introduction from bestselling author Robert Macfarlane, this is a complete portrait of one of the few sports to have remained utterly true to its roots – in which the point is not fame or fortune but to run the ancient, wild landscape, and to be a hero, if at all, within one’s own valley.

Book excerpt: 'A delightful book ... the perfect companion as you wait for the 8.10 from Hove' Observer After the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, many railways were gradually shut down. Rural communities were isolated and steam trains slowly gave way to diesel and electric traction. But some people were not prepared to let the romance of train travel die. Thanks to their efforts, many lines passed into community ownership and are now booming with new armies of dedicated volunteers. Andrew Martin meets these volunteer enthusiasts, finding out just what it is about preserved railways that makes people so devoted. From the inspiration for Thomas the Tank Engine to John Betjeman's battle against encroaching modernity, Steam Trains Today will take you on a heart-warming journey across Britain from Aviemore to Epping.
