For the love of trains : celebrating 200 years of British Railways / Paul Routledge.

London : Mirror Books, 2025.

288 pages ; 22 cm

Dedicated 'Puffer Nutter' Paul Routledge has loved trains all his life. Whether it's chugging along on a scenic steam railway or whizzing through towns and fields to the other side of the country, for Paul it has never lost its magic. A journalist for nearly 60 years years and Daily Mirror columnist for 27 of those, Paul has written regularly about the joys of train travel. Now the country is set to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the modern railway - The Stockton & Darlington Railway opened on September 27, 1825 - when better to pen a love letter to trains? Looking at everything from the earliest days, fascinating stories, famous faces and future of the railways, Paul's ode to trains is a must-read for any railway fan as well as those enthusiastic amateurs who just want to know a little more about transport they possibly take for granted.
