The Appeal of the Train

By: The Editor | July 5, 2010 – 7:43 am | 2 Comments

During my childhood, the age of the train altered dramatically. Being brought up near a huge rail junction called Pontypool Road in South Wales it seemed to me that steam typified travel. Just a few years later diesel took over and then Dr Beeching scythed whole railway lines out of existence. Within about fifteen years I had lived through different ages from where the train could take you nearly anywhere to a state where only major places seemed to be connected.
This year sees the 175th anniversary of the Great Western Railway, God’s wonderful railway as it was nicknamed so there are celebrations at Swindon as mentioned previously in CD-Traveller. Don’t forget though the National Railway Museum in York which chronicles all rail not only in our countries but some abroad as well
