Railways & Recollections Snow Hill to Cheltenham

2017 | History & Politics

This 79th volume in the growing Recollections series takes us on a journey from Birmingham to Cheltenham. Departing from Birmingham's Snow Hill station we travel southwards to Stratford-upon-Avon where the railway now terminates. However our journey takes us back in time to the days when the line continued on to Honeybourne. In recent years Network Rail has been upgrading the line that still runs through Honeybourne - from Oxford to Evesham - and have allowed for the eventual reinstatement of our line which will form a junction here. We continue southwards to Broadway and Norchard where the Gloucester, Warwickshire Raailway has relaid the track through to Cheltenham Race Course station. The tracks go no further but the hope is that in time we will once again be able to reach the main line station at Cheltenham. Illustrated throughout with both colour and black & White images from the past and the present this new 64page volume will appeal to both enthusiasts and visitors alike,
