What I found intriguingly pleasing as a local was how refreshing it was to be reminded of the gems on your doorstep. Living in this part of Dorset one tends to avoid the madding crowd (and traffic) at the height of the holiday season but I certainly plan to re-visit some places that have dropped off my radar. The author Dr Richard Marks has certainly in my opinion at least given readers a well written and very readable combine guide to the Swanage Railway and a great selection of places to visit. In summary this a very useful guide to the railway buff and the general tourist that encourages a visit to the local heritage railway, always a good day out as well as many other sites of historic and cultural interest. As guides go this is a superior publication and will be a great reference work for visitors to Dorset and the Isle of Purbeck.

I have no hesitation in saying it is the finest book on the Swanage Railway I have ever purchased.

The Contents page is superbly laid out, with every subject listed in the index.

Everything is covered- not only the important information, but also Special Events and Experiences, and information on Places to Visit Nearby.

The motive power of the Swanage Railway is covered exemplary.

The book is absolutely faultless. Great care has been taken to ensure the information printed is absolutely exact.

The photographs are outstanding. The book is absolutely faultless.

I wholeheartedly recommend it.
