Railway Adventures
'If you want to have a railway adventure, this excellent book is the best place to start' Ian Marchant, author of Parallel Lines
The railways are one of our finest engineering legacies - a web of routes connecting people to each other and to a vast network of world-class attractions. It is also the best route to enjoying the landscape of Great Britain.
Within these pages Vicki Pipe and Geoff Marshall from All the Stations (YouTube transport experts and survivors of a crowd-funded trip to visit all the stations in the UK) help you discover the hidden stories that lie behind branch lines, as well as meeting the people who fix the engines and put the trains to bed.
Embark on unknown routes, disembark at unfamiliar stations, explore new places and get to know the communities who keep small stations and remote lines alive.
Vicki Pipe is a museum education professional, and also a video presenter, artist and improviser. She is passionate about the stories of people, social change and how the railways impact on our sense of space and surroundings.
Geoff Marshall is a freelance video producer who makes transport films for his own YouTube channel. He is a tour guide for Hidden London, taking people inside abandoned tube stations, and has twice held the world record for travelling to all Underground stations in the fastest time possible. allthestations.co.uk
