West Gloucester & Wye Valley Lines 2nd Edition

Gloucester Central (West End) to Chepstow & Llanthony Docks; Ledbury Branch & Gloucester to Hereford & Ross to Monmouth; Monmouth to Pontypool Road & Monmouth to Chepstow. Whilst the period covered is largely 1960-65, the last years of the steam era on British Railways Western Region, the earliest pictures in this volume are some Dufaycolor slides of Tintern station taken in the 1930s. The cut-off date is the mid-1970s, when Gloucester Central station was rebuilt. The railway system of Great Britain, as it was in the 1950s and 60s, now no longer exists and very little of what is shown in these pictures still remains. This, then, is a chance to sit back and remember the railways of West Gloucestershire and the Wye Valley, in the company of some talented photographers who made it their mission to record this vanishing scene. This revised and enlarged second edition includes 48 pages of new pictures, plus corrects errors identified in the first edition.
