Description
The Whitby-Loftus line cost over 50 million pounds to build in today’s money, but it never paid its way and so only lasted 75 years. It did, however, offer the most scenic, spectacular and romantic railway journey in the north of England traveling over viaducts, through tunnels and along precipitous cliffs giving panoramic views of the sea, sand, valleys, bays, abbeys, castles, woods and the occasional shipwreck. In standard Oakwood format this book has been researched entirely from primary sources and is profusely illustrated with maps, diagrams and photographs.
