There was both opposition and support for the railways when they were initially promoted, and the book describes the struggles during their early independent days. Both railways were subsequently absorbed into the North Eastern Railway, and in due course formed part of the London \u0026amp; North Eastern Railway and British Railways. The layout and history of each of the stations on the railways is described and illustrated, along with staffing, signalling and the operation of passenger and freight trains from their opening through to their closure. The Victoria Dock Branch in Hull is covered, and the book details how the railways to\u003cbr\u003eWithernsea and Hornsea operated in conjunction with that branch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth railways were of immense value in the development of Holderness. Both also provided the citizens of Hull with leisure opportunities at the seaside from the early days. Times changed though, and the book describes the abortive attempts to save the lines from closure through cost cutting and modernisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftback, 128 pages, 90 photographs, numerous line drawings, diagrams and tables\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Eastern Railway Association","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":58245631672703,"sku":"9781911360469","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/files\/9781911360469.jpg?v=1787334771","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/north-eastern-railway-branch-lines-the-railways-of-holderness-9781911360469","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
