'Bennett's books are a timely reminder of the duplication that occurred in the pre-grouping era and I heartily recommend them.'

- Railwatch, December 2024,

'As a book describing closed railway lines and stations, the book attempts to cover the whole of southern Britain, whereas its size is barely sufficient to consider one of its regions. Overall, it merits a rating of 4/5.

- Rail Advent, March 2025,

During the railway mania of the nineteenth century many places gained more than one station, and not just in the big cities. Many small settlements ended up with two or even three stations. This was almost always as the result of competition between the railway companies, anxious to secure more business for themselves, though there were exceptions. As the railway network continued to grow and develop, many of these locations ended up with no stations at all. This is the lavishly illustrated story of these unfortunate places in the southern part of Britain that were once so well provided for, and are now bereft.

Lavishly illustrated throughout, this book tells the story of the South of Britain railways in locations that were once served by more than one station - and then, eventually, by none.
