BRANCHES & BYWAYS: SOUTHWEST SCOTLAND AND THE BORDER COUNTIES

An enthralling history of the secondary lines that once formed a network of railways in this scenic region, including the 'Port Road' from Dumfries to Stranraer, the Border Counties line from Riccarton Junction to Hexham, and the Lauder branch. The emphasis is on the postwar British Railways era with a rich pictorial content from some of the best photographers of the time, plus over 40 track plans and maps and extracts from timetables. Many of the lines are now gone and this high quality publication will bring back many memories of these fascinating routes. 408 b/w photos.
