No 27 Lincolnshire (British Railways Past and Present)

Given the current pace of change on our railway system, a few years can reduce a busy and vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or housing estate - or conversely can bring electrification and up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated and rundown route. The contrasts are often dramatic, yet many lines and stations still remain seemingly untouched. Whatever the change, the comparisons of 'Past and Present' will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history. Each pair of photographs is accompanied by revealing details about the locomotives and rolling stock, people and landscapes. This volume covering Lincolnshire features: • Great Central lines to Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Cleethorpes. • Seaside lines to Mablethorpe and Skegness. • The railways of Lincoln. • The M&GN line through Spalding. • Rural byways in the heart of the Wolds. • The East Coast Main Line through Grantham.
