Abstract:Each volume in the "Railways of Britain" series includes some 40 maps updated and revised from Colonel Cobb's originals. The maps show the railway network in terms of those lines still open, those open for freight traffic only, lines which have been preserved and those closed completely. Alongside the railway lines, the book also includes an outline of the road network in simplified form to allow the inter-relationship between railways and roads to be clearly identified. In addition to the mapping, each volume also includes a detailed historical sketch outlining the development of the area's railway network, a representative selection of photographs as well as a detailed index and a gazeteer of stations with opening and where appropriate, closure.
