Lost Lines: Birmingham to Oxford

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

While the line between these cities still functions, this volume focuses on its operation up to the 1960s, shedding light on its role in carrying freight – iron ore from quarries in the Midlands but also bullion, oil and cars. Illustrated with archive photographs it takes a station-by-station approach as it uncovers the line’s heritage, casting light on its place in industry and social history and detailing the locomotives that served it.
