This Midland Railway branch was originally built to serve iron ore workings and also provide a passenger service. While the line's passenger trains have long since gone, the branch still provides a link to Tytherington Quarry for stone traffic to this day. Read the line's story up until closure in 1966. In its last few years it became very busy in connection with building the M5 motorway, then discover the branch's renaissance with new investment and re-opening in 1972 to Tytherington. Presented in an A5 format, this book contains 144 pages, and 180 illustrations. It has a square-backed perfect-bound colour card cover.
