Anthony Burges helps us recapture the atmosphere of several of the rural branch lines of Sussex in the mid-1950s. As well as photographing the trains, the author's interest extended to the station exteriors and other infrastructure details that are so useful to modellers today. Lines covered include East Grinstead-Lewes (part of which is now the preserved Bluebell Railway), Crowhurst-Bexhill West, Chichester-Midhurst, Pulborough-Midhurst and Petersfield-Midhurst, as well as a look at Schools class 4-4-0s and other steam classes on the Tunbridge Wells-Hastings main line.
