Trade Review
‘Compelling... Part Bill Bryson, part Nick Hornby, part memoir and part pastiche... Light, lively and, above all, right: what every enthusiast should be expected to know' * The Times *
‘Michael Palin meets Nick Hornby meets What the Victorians Did for Us... wacky and amiable' * Independent on Sunday *
‘A gloriously disingenuous front for the most acerbic and humorous criticism of public transport policy ... a more entertaining and incisive read will not be found this year' * Glasgow Herald *
‘The trip keeps its pace and purpose, fuelled by the genial, flexible rhythms of the prose and enriched by two centuries of railway-culture hinterland' * Independent *
