About this title

Synopsis:

Offers readers the excitement of trainspotting in the 1950s and '60s, the hobby's heyday. This title provides a personal account of what the hobby entailed - teenagers roaming the railways of Britain, sleeping on deserted platforms on porters' trolleys, 'bunking' dimly lit depots and eluding catpure, and stink bombs on the Underground.

About the Author:

Michael Harvey has had a lifelong interest in railways. He regularly travels all over the country to present illustrated talks relating to his trainspotting days. This is his fourth book.
