This book describes the history of the original bridge 30, the puzzle of its location and the various works carried out to strengthen it over the last 145 years.

Bradshaw’s Guide was the title employed on BBC TV in 2010 for a book containing four issues of Bradshaw’s Handbook for Railway Tourists, bound especially for the series.

The book covers Great Britain plus all of Ireland and describes the main features and historic buildings of the principle towns, in the flowery style of a well spoken Victorian person. The main inns are mentioned, along with the location of telegraph offices, so important before telephones.

The 14 pages of multiple illustrations are shown in a separate section, as are the 18 double-page maps. The announcements by many of the railway companies regarding tours and special arrangements are included, many being particularly imaginative and detailed.

By Gordon Suggitt
Of the 900 miles of rail track and 300 stations that existed in the golden years of the railway, fewer than 390 miles and 80 stations remain as part of today's national network. Some of the other lines and stations have seen a revival though, with thriving preservation societies bringing ever more miles back into use for an enthusiastic public. This well written and excellently researched book brings to life the history of the area's railways - the reason for their construction and for their closure. Modern photographs accompany those from earlier times. These, together with the ten specially drawn maps, will help the enthusiast to explore many of the old lines and stations that have survived.

The original four books tell the charming story of Peter and his Grandpa building their steam railway across the farm. At the ends of chapters are how-it-works pages with simple (but accurate) explainations. In addition, Grandpa tells some wonderful stories form the old days on teh railways.
Hardback with watercolour images and technical drawings.
What people are saying about Peter's Railway:
"Peter (9) is reading 'The Forgotten engine' to me, by himself. His reading is really coming on and he can easily read words like 'super-elevation'. Wonderful!"
"I have never come across a book with such a clever mix of information and fiction. Very child friendly."
