"It (the book) will be enjoyed by all railway enthusiasts who may think they know most of this story that was partly covered in the national media, but other plans are included that never came to fruition and are not widely known which will add to the reader's interest."

"Like the author’s many other works on bespoke smaller railway concerns, the research is meticulous, with many new photographs and a wealth of appendices covering the cost of construction, the high level of public subsidy and the dreadful balance sheets...
