The Beaten Track Volume 3: The Traction and Extremities of Britain’s Rail Network 1970-1985
£33.20
The Beaten Track was first published in 2021. Its combination of outstanding colour photography from 1970–1985, featuring superseded motive power and long-lost extremities of the British railway network received widespread critical acclaim. Although originally intended to be a single volume, the success of The Beaten Track gave rise to a second volume, published in 2022, which continued in the same vein and received similar praise in reviews. We’re now proud to present The Beaten Track Volume 3 – a third selection of the best colour photography from 1970–1985. More than 250 high quality colour images illustrate an assortment of traction types, very few of which can still be seen on the main line, many at railway locations that have long since disappeared or have changed out of all recognition. All the photographs are accompanied by extensive captions, containing considerable historical and anecdotal information relating to the lines, stations and trains depicted. Hardback. A4 size. 176 pages.

The Beaten Track series are top quality books. The standard of photos is fantastic, especially considering they’re about 50 years old and the captions bring out so many interesting details about the trains and locations. It covers every area of the country and shows a wide variety of traction types. It’s a good quality hardback with a nice layout – highly recommended.
