BR’s Southern Region witnessed huge changes in the 1960s. At the beginning of the decade steam operation could be seen on many branch lines and byways but by the end steam had disappeared and many of the lines which served quiet or rural locations were destined to close through the Beeching axe. With an array of superb colour photographs ranging across the counties of southern England from Dorset and Hampshire to Sussex and Kent, in this book railway photographer Laurie Golden presents a fascinating portrait of the last years of steam on the branch lines and by-ways of the Southern Region in the 1960s.
