During the 1960s and early 1970s Britain was devastated by railway closures and many parts of the country were left without any kind of railway service.Since the 1960s,Britain has witnessed the closure of over 2,000 stations and many thousands of miles of track,thus halving the network that had been inherited from the Victorians and littering the landscape with the remains of abandoned railways.The timetables of the 1950s and early 1960s are therefore filled with journeys which are now either impracticable or impossible. 'Paul Atterbury's Lost Railway Journeys' is not just about closed lines,it is about memory,nostalgia and imagination.Walking old railways is now a national past time,while many miles of lost lines have also been saved as preserved or heritage railways.The lines and journeys in this book are arranged regionally,and have been selected to show the diversity of the routes that were lost. They are depicted in their prime and as surviving remains integrated within the landscape,waiting to be rediscovered by the generations that knew them best. In this nostalgic journey,Paul Atterbury traces the routes that have long since been abandoned but are nevertheless still rich in railway culture. Paul Atterbury is probably familiar to many as a long-standing member of the team of experts on BBC TV's 'Antique Roadshow' and someone who has always appreciated the importance of ephemera in telling the story of domestic life in the 20thC.
Since April 2013,again in March 2015 and again this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its qualifying compensation rates too!
