The branch lines of Devon were particularly numerous and this second volume on the county covers Plymouth, west and north Devon. They vary from the Turnchapel and Yealmpton commuter lines, to the Exeter and Barnstaple branch, which for many years of its life was a main line, becoming a branch line within the last forty years. One branch still open is the Plymouth to Gunnislake line, which remains because it offers the most direct route. Many of the branches have interesting histories. The Princetown branch was famous for being the highest station in England. The Torrington to Halwill Junction line began life as the 3footgauge Marland Light Railway whose main purpose was to carry clay. In 1925, the line was rebuilt as a standardgauge line and extended to become the North Devon & Cornwall Light Railway the last major railway construction in the West of England. In this absorbing, entertaining and wellresearched book, Colin G. Maggs, foremost railway historian, provides a marvellously wideranging view of over 170 years of rail travel. Profusely illustrated with over 200 fascinating photographs, maps and ephemera, this book will appeal not only to railway enthusiasts, but to local historians as well.
