Parallel lines : or journeys on the railway of dreams : or every girl's big book of trains
Marchant, Ian2004
Books, Manuscripts
For 175 years the British have lived with the railway, and for a while it was a love affair - the grandeur of the Victorian heyday, the romance of 'Brief Encounter'. Then it turned sour - strikes, bad food, delays. This is the story of these railways: the real railway and the railway of our dreams.
