Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations

The bestselling bard of Britain on that great institution we all love—the railway station.

Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations by Simon Jenkins takes readers on a journey across Great Britain, from Waterloo to Wemyss Bay, Betws-y-Coed to Beverley. Simon Jenkins has meticulously selected his hundred best railway stations, blending insight and authority with personal reflections and experiences, including his role in founding the Railway Heritage Trust.

As the foremost expert on our national heritage, Jenkins reveals the history, geography, design, and significance of each station. The book is beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, offering a joyous exploration of our social history. It demonstrates the station's role in the national imagination, champions the engineers, architects, and rival companies that made them possible, and tells the stories behind the triumphs and follies of these quintessentially British creations.

These marvellous, often undersung places that link our nation are celebrated like never before in this insightful and engaging book.
