'Compelling ... full of history and railway nuggets
- Michael Binyon, Sunday Times
Informative and witty
Cumbria Life
You do not have to be a trainspotter to enjoy this book. It is social history, a kind of epitaph to a way of travel that seems to be lost, at least in Europe
- Christian Wolmar, Spectator
A delightful book ... This book is the perfect companion as you wait for the 8.10 from Hove
- Nigel Jones, Observer
Martin is entertaining company, alive to the history of his route ... leaves you with renewed confidence that trains can still be the most civilised way to travel
