This book extends the authors search from Bath to the lines of BR's Western Region in the neighbouring counties, an area often referred to as 'Wessex'. Here the region's boundary is taken as the one which existed between 1959 and 1962. Subsequent major changes to this boundary are also described. Each chapter follows one of the region's mainlines through the area. These include the former Midland lines from Bristol along with the northern half of the old Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway from Bath (Green Park) to Templecombe. Points of particular interest to a 'trainspotter' of the day along each line are noted while lists of numbers, compiled by the author, are given for many of the engine sheds passed. Photographic coverage extends from 1960 to the last steam workings which, on the Western Region, (almost) ended in December 1965.
