A Lament for a Branch Line 2nd Edition

All that you are about to read is the culmination of the author’s extensive knowledge and personal experience of this railway in which he chronicles a definitive and fascinating history of a very interesting branch-line, as well as the integrated Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction and the enigmatic Tarleton branch line.
