Book Synopsis
The story of the Meon Valley Railway has been broken into three volumes by expert railway author Kevin Robertson, each of them covering a specific time span. The third volume tells the story of the railway in its final months leading to closure, the last trains and then the gradual decay that naturally followed. However, this is not a book full of depressing images, instead it follows how sections remained in operational use for some years afterwards and also recounts the story of the abortive preservation scheme at Droxford. The book is also alive with stories and folklore from staff and passengers alike. Enthusiasts and locals will be enthralled by this last volume, not least by the specially commissioned painting for the jacket, depicting the station at Wickham by renowned railway artist Sean Bolan.
