Rails Across the Plain : The Amesbury to Bulford Railway

This new title by expert Jeffery Grayer provides readers with an authoritative yet easy-to-follow text on the Amesbury Bulford Railway. One former branch line has not received the full treatment of a dedicated line history-the line from Grateley in Hampshire, across the fringes of Salisbury Plain to Amesbury and Bulford. This new history, written by respected railway author Jeffery Grayer, recounts the various unsuccessful attempts at providing railway communication across Salisbury Plain through to the opening of the branch line, and what is probably just as interesting, the network of various military lines that grew from it to serve any number of sidings, military facilities, and depots. This informative new title is supplemented by numerous illustrations and plans as well as gradient profiles and even the considered rateable value of some of the buildings. A must have for any rail enthusiast or anybody interested in this particular southwest region.
