As with many other counties, the railway network of Hampshire has diminished to a shadow of its former size over the last two generations. It was not simply the effects of the famous Beeching report that rendered the various routes extinct, but also the actions of the operators themselves. They had already begun to take measures to reduce the number of lines operating, with closures taking place in almost every decade from the 1910s through to the 1970s. As a result of these changes, Hampshire now boasts an impressive network of closed lines, most of which are covered within this book, with stunning vistas capturing their final days as moribund railways. This new album takes readers on a lovely journey back to a time within living memory when the last vestiges of a larger network were still in existence. Compiled by well-known railway historian Jeffery Grayer, this book will be essential reading for all enthusiasts.

There are some things in life that seem to automatically prick the conscience of the nation. One of these is the subject of closed railways. An overgrown bridge, weed-strewn cutting, or derelict station, each will invariably bring forth the comment, "It was the fault of Dr. Beeching." What is conveniently forgotten is that while some closures did indeed occur in consequence of the wielding of that famous “axe,” rationalization had in fact already been going on in the decades before. In his highly successful first book in this series covering Hampshire, author Jeffrey Grayer considered the closed routes of that county. Now he continues the same theme into East and West Sussex, exploring in color the path of many of the closed lines in the days between the withdrawal of services and subsequent redevelopment.

Impermanent Ways: The Closed Lines of Britain - Sussex

<p>This new title by expert Jeffery Grayer provides readers with an authoritative yet easy-to-follow text on the Amesbury Bulford Railway. One former branch line has not received the full treatment of a dedicated line history-the line from Grateley in Hampshire, across the fringes of Salisbury Plain to Amesbury and Bulford. This new history, written by respected railway author Jeffery Grayer, recounts the various unsuccessful attempts at providing railway communication across Salisbury Plain through to the opening of the branch line, and what is probably just as interesting, the network of various military lines that grew from it to serve any number of sidings, military facilities, and depots. This informative new title is supplemented by numerous illustrations and plans as well as gradient profiles and even the considered rateable value of some of the buildings. A must have for any rail enthusiast or anybody interested in this particular southwest region.</p>

Rails Across the Plain: The Amesbury - Bulford Railway

<p>This third volume in rail expert Jeffery Grayers's acclaimed series on closed railways features the county of Wiltshire. Forty years or more ago, the idea of recording the demolition of a railway was something few considered. Images from the period are therefore both rare and sought after. Such views depict a time of transition; gone were the trains, yet redevelopment was still some way in the future. Ironically, it is also now a period many look back to with nostalgia in mind, and they will not be disappointed in this new volume. Wiltshire is rich in its railway heritage and lines such as the MSWJ, Calne, Malmesbury, and Devizes routes are featured, as well as a glimpse at some former Southern lines that once crossed parts of the county. This enchanting new title includes a variety of fascinating full-color images, required reading for every rail enthusiast and those interested in the beautiful county of Wiltshire.</p>
