Train Teasers by Andrew Martin
A quiz, and an eye-opening journey through British railway history.
Wonderful.. a treasure and a gem -- Jeremy Corbyn
Praise for Andrew Martin: 'Andrew Martin has cornered the train market. He is the Bard of the Buffer, the Balladeer of the Blue Train, the Laureate of Lost Property ... the best sort of travel-writer: inquisitive, knowledgeable, lively, congenial * Mail on Sunday *
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 * FT *
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 * Spectator *
