Hoovering around Taunton and Exeter
By Joseph Burr
WHAT is not to like about a volume of original photographs taken during the time the charismatic Class 50s were being used in Devon and Somerset?
The book takes each section of line from Somerton (on the Berks & Hants) and Chard Junction (on the Waterloo line) to Totnes, the branches to the likes of Paignton, Barnstaple and Exmouth, the freight only Meldon, Heathfield and Torrington lines, plus heritage lines.
The square format gives scope to vary the page layout and still allows sufficient space for trains in the landscape.
