With over 200 photographs and excellent text, Peter Tuffrey's book features many aspects of railway development in Yorkshire prior to the Grouping of railways in 1923 and up to 1948 and nationalisation. The geographical spread is right across the region, including the old West, East and North Ridings. The book should be of interest not just to the average railway enthusiast as the photographs form a strong social history of contemporary life, changing fashions, advertising slogans of the period and the abundance of railway staff at stations.

This excellent book published in 2017 gives a real insight into Yorkshire's railway world in the first half of the 20th century.
