Most people are unable to quote strings of engine-numbers or recite timetables but can appreciate the grandeur of steam trains and the beauty of the landscapes through which they pass... This beautifully illustrated and wittily written book is for them.  2/4 Next Feature Back-Up Sports Bookworld

"... it's not half so interesting as looking out of the window." Kington enjoys meeting the people who keep the steam railways going - he says his ambition is to write a TV sitcom set in a preserved steam railway. Certainly, there's plenty of material, like the man who declares that Talyllyn railway has "still got railway preservation there as it used to be "  3/4 Next Feature Back-Up Sports Bookworld

Kington brings a fresh eye to such classic lines as the Settle-Carlisle and Ffestiniog but he's in search of 'character' and characters, too. Alain le Garsmeur's superb photographs capture the spirit of the enterprise, showing both the little quirks and the grand views that these railways afford.  4/4 Next Feature Back-Up Sports Bookworld
