No18 Surrey & West Sussex (British Railways Past and Present)

Using photographs based on the steam era and contrasting them with the same scene captured in a modern day image, Terry Gough's photographic tour on the railways of these two counties brings to light the how our railways have changed over the course of time. Modernisation and regeneration of areas have played their part in the demise of some old stations and lines, whilst some remain relatively unchanged over time. With captions on the locomotive and rolling stock, landscapes and people, this is an insightful book for the railway enthusiast and for anyone interested in the history of Surrey and West Sussex.
