Lavishly illustrated throughout, this book tells the story of the South of Britain railways in locations that were once served by more than one station - and then, eventually, by none.
During the railway mania of the nineteenth century many places gained more than one station, and not just in the big cities. Many small settlements ended up with two or even three stations. This was almost always as the result of competition between the railway companies, anxious to secure more business for themselves, though there were exceptions. As the railway network continued to grow and develop, many of these locations ended up with no stations at all.
This is the lavishly illustrated story of these unfortunate places in the southern part of Britain that were once so well provided for, and are now bereft.

A lifelong railway enthusiast, Patrick pursued a varied career, ending up as a lecturer in further education. Retirement to France in 2007 brought the chance to also study the railways of his adopted country, resulting in a number of books on the history of French railways.
