Although the railways weren't the first type of mass holiday transport they helped develop many of Britain's favourite seaside resorts. 'Holiday Trains' follows this development, paying visits to Blackpool, Margate, Southport and Weston-super-Mare, and also looking at the other sorts of holiday that the railways made possible. After the First World War the cost of motoring came down and the use of motor coaches grew, so railways' share of the market fell, but it was really the rise of cheaper air fares in the 1960s that started the steady decline in holiday rail travel. However, some holiday trains can still be caught today. This book is part of the Britain's Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of Britain's past, and is the perfect way to get acquainted with holiday trains in all their variety.
