Jeff Grayer's previous books in the Impermanent Ways series have been widely welcomed and enjoyed by enthusiasts and the public alike. The latest volume in the series covers Somerset. The author has deliberately excluded the Somerset and Dorset line, which is covered in detail elsewhere. Instead, he has concentrated on the many closed lines from north of Yeovil across to Chard, Langport, Witham, Cranmore, Mells, Shepton Mallett and, of course, the now preserved West Somerset route.Detailed historical notes relating to all the closed lines are provided in the informative captions which accompany the wealth of photographs, all of which are in colour. Lots of other railway emphemera is also featured, including extracts from old timetables, notices and tickets.
