About this ebook
Though the railway from Chester to Holyhead is still busy today, serving those living along the coast of north Wales and travellers to Ireland as it has done since the 1840s, this is a nostalgic journey back in time to when the line was in its steam age heyday. The book includes a short history of the route and a selection of photographs featuring many of the stations and locations along the way.
