The British invented the railway and they have kept it close to their hearts ever since. The opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1825 launched the great age of the train and for the next century the railway was dominant, its networks spreading to many of Britain's towns and villages. Since then the car and aeroplane have taken over, but the romantic image of the train - leisurely countryside routes, friendly village stations and elderly steam engines - remains deeply embedded in the national consciousness.

From Cornwall to the north of Scotland and from the plains of East Anglia to the heart of Wales 'Country Railways' combines photography, history and anecdote to take a nostalgic look at these traditional lines with their often old fashioned and attractive buildings and equipment, and presents evocation of the railway's role in the ever-varied landscape of Britain.

Includes colour photographs.
