"This book will draw you in and almost certainly will be kept for reference, especially if you plan to check out some of these lines on your future travels."

This is the first time that this reviewer has come across a book entirely devoted to railway request stops and I have found it very interesting. Well illustrated and informative with lots of colour photographs and will appeal to all railway enthusiasts, especially those who like to read about the lesser known side of railway travel.

This photographic volume looks at the relatively new London Overground system, its origins and changes since its inception in 2007. The book is arranged into chapters covering each Overground route. Well reproduced photographs accompany a brief summary of each route’s history. As expected Class 378 units dominate the photos at a variety of locations on each of the Overground lines. As well as Class 378, the photos also feature LUL 1972 and S7 Stock, as well as LO Classes 172, 313, 315, 317, 350, 375, 390, 455, 456 and the newest units to appear, the Class 710s. An interesting facet is that some of the routes feature freight traffic, with Classes 37, 66, 86, 90 appearing in the photos. Photos of the infrastructure also feature throughout the book. This is a well laid out general overview of this interesting system. Recommended for those interested in the more recent London urban rail scene.

There has been for some time a need for a comprehensive history of the North Wales line, and a very significant one has arrived on the market. Author Philip Lloyd describes his book The Chester and Holyhead Railway; a New History as 'the culmination of a lifetime's interest in the line', and this is evident throughout its 276 pages. This is a modern book, hardback on quality paper with many photographs, in colour when possible, including some by names well-known to our readers such as Dave Sallery and the late John Hobbs. The result of much research, this is a very readable history book, centred on people and events, without the technical details of locomotives or performance logs favoured by some other authors.

"This is an excellent work which will remind older readers of their youth, and offer younger ones a glimpse into our countries’ past."
