This book looks at the effect on Britain’s railways of the 1963 Beeching Report, fifty years on. It begins with a look at the report and at Dr Beeching himself, before going on to look at how some lines which closed are now operating as heritage railways and how others have been converted to paths and cycle routes. It also includes a full list of stations closed by Beeching and what has happened to them since. Illustrated with black & white photographs. 176 pages.
