Written for travellers heading to Wales, the Lakes or the Highlands, this guide rides the London and North Western Railway from Euston, describing the stations, mixed trains, towns and countryside on the way. Sidney digresses happily into history, manufactures, mining and the iron and coal trades of each district.

A charming early railway companion, full of detail about Britain at the height of the Industrial Revolution. Download the free EPUB.
