In the 1970s, Andy Sparks was an avid train-spotter and keen photographer. As he travelled around England, he captured day to day life on the railways, from loco-hauled passenger trains to gas lamps and ticket barriers. This collection of photographs show how thoroughly stations, track, motive power and working practices have been modernised.
Andy Sparks is a lifetime railway enthusiast. After leaving school aged 16 he spent over twenty years in heavy engineering, but retrained recently as a chartered surveyor. He has had a number of articles published in the railway press, but this is his first book. Andy lives in Manchester.
