Synopsis

Railways Restored is the Bible of the railway preservation movement. Listing each of the country's steam centres and preserved railways, the book provides a comprehensive listing of all locomotives displayed along with information on rolling stock, special events, addresses and much more. First published in 1980, Railways Restored has been published annually since then, establishing a reputation amongst enthusiasts and regular visitors to the numerous preserved lines that is second to none. In the 22 years since the first edition of the book was published the number of sites featured and the number of locomotives preserved has continued to grow - and the 2002 edition records many exciting developments in the railway preservation movement that have occurred over the past 12 months. New sites included for the first time include the Weardale Railway, the Eden Valley Railway, the Giants Causeway, Preston Docks, Epping-Ongar and the Wensleydale Railway. For the fifth year, the specification of Railways Restored has been enhanced by the inclusion of a 32pp timetable supplement incorporating information on the many preserved railways which operate public services - making the book all the more essential to all railway enthusiasts. As the number of new sites indicates, railway preservation enters its second 50 years in good shape, providing both tourists and enthusiasts with a great variety of travel opportunities throughout the British Isles. Railways Restored remains the country's single most authoritative guide for all those interested in experiencing railway preservation. Fully revised and with a comprehensive selection of photographs, Railways Restored 2001 is certain to be eagerly sought after by the many thousands who are interested in or who regularly visit the many preserved railways of the British Isles.
