A History of the Berks and Hants Line Reading to Westbury

Compiled by former railwayman Peter Simmonds, this history fills a gap in the market for coverage of this line, which has long been under threat, but which has now been promised a secure future. The author describes the main railway all through the ages as well as consequential developments, both planned and built. As such it provides a graphic description of the line - its past, present and future. Essential reading for all those who travel on or live near to the route.
