Parallel Lines by Ian Marchant
Abrilliantly witty story of one man's encounter with the British railways
‘Compelling.. Part Bill Bryson, part Nick Hornby, part memoir and part pastiche... Light, lively and, above all, right: what every enthusiast should be expected to know' * The Times *
‘Michael Palin meets Nick Hornby meets What the Victorians Did for Us... wacky and amiable' * Independent on Sunday *
‘A gloriously disingenuous front for the most acerbic and humorous criticism of public transport policy ... a more entertaining and incisive read will not be found this year' * Glasgow Herald *
‘The trip keeps its pace and purpose, fuelled by the genial, flexible rhythms of the prose and enriched by two centuries of railway-culture hinterland' * Independent *
