This is simply the best guide to railway preservation in Britain today. The new 2008 edition has been fully updated and includes a new selection of photographs. As is now usual, the new edition of Railways Restored contains a very useful timetable supplement detailing public services on lines featured in the book. The 2008 edition will feature any new schemes which have opened since the previous edition was published and details of any which are no longer running or open to the public.
This book always sells strongly across the country. There are preservation centres and heritage railways in virtually every region and county across the United Kingdom. Most visitors to preserved railways are not railway enthusiasts but rather those who follow the brown signs to various attractions such as National Trust properties. This handy and portable guide to locations and running times will appeal to a much broader audience than most railway titles.
