A history of the Berks and Hants line : Reading to Westbury

Compiled by former railwayman Peter Simmonds, this new history fills a gap in the market for coverage of this line, which has long been under threat, but which has now been promised a secure future.

The author describes the main railway all through the ages as well as consequential developments, both planned and built.

As such it provides a graphic description of the line - its past, present and future.

Essential reading for all those who travel on or live near to the route.
