Description
Discover the Victorian law that unintentionally paved the way for Britain's beloved heritage railways.
In 1896, the Light Railways Act aimed to simplify railway construction approvals. However, its lasting impact wasn't fully realized until the 1960s. As Dr. Beeching closed railway lines, steam railway enthusiasts recognized the Act as a means to reopen stretches of track, preserving the magic of steam. Now, generations enjoy these restored lines, a testament to an unexpected consequence of Victorian legislation.
John Hannavy explores the story behind this law and its welcome side effect: today's thriving heritage railway industry. Evocative images illustrate the journey of a Victorian law that helped keep the steam dream alive. This is for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
