British Railways Past and Present Companion
THE TAMAR AND TAVY VALLEYS By Terry Gough £14.99 |
Sorry!
This title is now OUT OF PRINT | |

Terry focuses not only on the open sections but also on the now-closed section to Callington, the erstwhile terminus of the branch, and the Southern main line west of Okehampton. There are fascinating period photographs from the days of the Southern Railway and British Railways, each paired with a photograph showing the same scene today.
Helpful captions provide details about the locomotives and rolling stock, people and landscapes. The result is a companion that is ideal for railway enthusiasts, visitors and locals with an interest in the area's past. The Plymouth - Gunnislake line is enjoying something of a revival in recent times. The line is fast becoming a 'must' for tourists and with local support by passengers and authorities also growing, the line has seen the re-introduction of winter Sunday services. Well worth a visit! |
