The Railway Excursion in Britain, 1830 to the Present Day

No one is sure when the first excursion train ran, but it was certainly before even Thomas Cook's famous first outing of July 1841. Since then, the railway excursion in all its guises has carried countless thousands to the sea and the city, political rallies and Cup Finals, miners' galas and mystery tours. This wide-ranging history from 1830 to the present day (1991) uses contemporary accounts to tell the absorbing and entertaining history of more than a century and a half of 'awaydays'.

Hardback with dust jacket, 256 pages, black & white photographs

Condition: Good with some sunfading to spine
