Slow trains around Britain: notes from a 4,088-mile adventure on 143 rides
On the shelf? Just pop in.
Join travel writer Tom Chesshyre as he celebrates 200 years of passenger railways in a zigzagging tour around the UK. On a series of rides, Tom enjoys the scenery, seeks out the history and heritage, dodges delays (best he can), and lets the rhythm of the clattering rails help him understand what it is about trains that we love so much.
