Book Synopsis Lost Railways of Devon by : Stan Yorke
Download or read book Lost Railways of Devon written by Stan Yorke and published by Countryside Books (GB). This book was released on 2007 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Devon's railway history began when the main line from London reached Exeter in 1844. Links were soon built with Plymouth in 1848 and Barnstaple in 1854. On top of this, in the heyday of railway age, Devon also boasted over 400 miles of branch lines and sidings - nearly all of them to disappear by the end of the 20th century. At a time when horse-drawn coaches and farm carts were the only alternative, the railways transported people and goods to their destinations much more quickly. Sadly, the good times were not to last and by the 1930s competition from road transport led to closures which continued into the 1960s when the Beeching Act finished off all but the main lines. Todaytwo preservation societies, the Plym Valley Railway and the Dart Valley Railway, are keeping the county's railway history alive. In this excellently written and well researched book, author Stan Yorke tells the story of the lost lines - the reason for their construction and for their closure. Modern otographs accompany those taken when Devon's lines were open and bustling. Due in 8th October

Book Synopsis Devon's Railways by : David Mitchell
Download or read book Devon's Railways written by David Mitchell and published by Key Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This, the first of two volumes covering the railways of Devon, follows the routes of the two main lines that enter the county from the east. Firstly, the former Western Region line is examined as it runs from Whiteball Tunnel in the Blackdown Hills and down along the attractive Culm and Exe Valleys to the county town of Exeter. It then takes the reader over the former Southern Region line from Axminster through rolling countryside to Exeter where the two routes meet. In addition, the book explores the branch lines that are still open in this part of the county; firstly, the one to Exmouth, which runs beside the Exe estuary for half of its length, and then by way of a contrast, the line to Barnstaple, which penetrates the rural heart of Devon to reach the county’s north coast. Finally, a look is taken at the Okehampton branch, which has just been acquired by Network Rail and is about to have its passenger service reinstated. Illustrated with over 180 color photographs, only a few of which have been published previously, this volume records many of the changes that have taken place over the last 35 years to both the infrastructure and trains. Coverage is mainly of service trains, but a number of special workings are also included. It depicts some of the older locomotive classes in their final days as well as the traction that provides today’s services.

Book Synopsis Great Western Railway Stations by : Allen Jackson
Download or read book Great Western Railway Stations written by Allen Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps more has been written about the Great Western Railway than any other, and the company is regarded with the most affection. The combination of an unbroken history, engineering icons of the Victorian era, holiday destinations and a visual appeal in their design work went a long way in keeping the GWR in pole position. The stations and other structures have long enjoyed the admiration of many and are a quintessential ingredient of the GWR recipe for remembrance. Change has always been with us on the railways and none more so than in the twenty-first century, where much of the GWR scene is to be swept away under the wires of electrification. The GWR proposed electrification of the Taunton to Penzance route in the 1930s and would have carried it out if they'd had the cash so, eighty years later, this change has an air of inevitability about it. Great Western Railway Stations is a last look at much of the GWR architecture, some of which is listed, and aims to present a lavishly illustrated overview of what remains of the old company.
