About This Book
Your comprehensive and indispensable guide to operational British Railway stations—including facilities available—from A to Z. Following nationalization in 1948, British Railways closed many branch lines and reduced the number of stations on the network. In January 1978, there were 2, 358 and by January 2018 there were 2, 560 stations on the network. The object of this book is to record those stations that are re-opened or are new stations to the system. The book gives: locations, facilities, chronology, statistics and passenger usage. "This useful reference work describes all the 200 or so stations opened or re-opened over the last 70 years, with a recent photograph of each and listed alphabetically. Print quality is excellent." —West Somerset Railway Association "Authors Paul Smith and his stepdaughter Sally Salmon... have travelled widely to compile their Directory of British Railways and hunt down reopened stations, brand new stations, old stations which have been revived or reopened on adjacent sites, replacements, and private or non-timetabled stations which have become public stations." — Express & Star
