About the Book

Now running to a dozen titles, the "Lost Lines" series has proved to be a considerable commercial success with most of the titles in the series having been reprinted at least once. For 2006, the company will be publishing a volume on Ireland and, in 2008, a volume covering Liverpool and the Mersey. As a format the series - with c25 chapters describing various lost aspects of the railway heritage of the British Isles supplemented both by historic and contemporary photographs as well as maps and memorabilia - works well and the author makes the effort of revisiting all the sites described prior to publication so that the information contained about the current status is as up to date as possible. He has identified a minimum of 10 additional series titles for publication from the end of 2008 onwards. These are as follows: "Industrial Railways", "Joint Lines", "Railway Hotels and Heritage", "East Anglia", "East Riding of Yorkshire", "Manchester and South Lancashire", "Light Railways", "Railway Workshops", "Scotland 2", and, "London 2". The volumes will follow the established format and treatment, with c10000 words of text supplemented by c250 mono illustrations. It is not suggested that all are commercial; when responding it would be useful to have thoughts as to which are considered to have the strongest potential. The joint railway lines of Britain have always exercised a particular fascination for rail enthusiasts. These were railways which were operatedby more than one company. The origins of the joint railways lie in the hundreds of independent companies created in the 19th century but many of them survived the Grouping of all these lines in 1923 in the Big Four - GWR, LNER, LMS and SR - and maintained their independent status until Nationalisation after World War 2. The largest of the Joint Railways such us the Midland & Great Northern and Cheshire Lines Committee operated their own rolling stock and each of these lines retained its unique atmosphere well into living memory and this book uncovers what can still be seen of the Joint Lines today.
