This text is a celebration of the life & architecture of the railway station & its evolution. It provides an informative account of the social & political context of stations over the last 150 years, & examines the background of some of the world`s major stations. Railway stations have always held a special place in the public`s affection. The lure of the great railway terminus has been especially strong, with the grandeur of the architecture fused with the prospects for adventure, escape or challenge promised by far-flung destinations. The many stations featured in this book cover a wide spectrum of architectural styles & developments & important historic events, from the early provincial & colonial railways, the Victorian Gothic of London`s St Pancras & the Beaux-Arts splendour of Grand Central Station in New York, to the modern structural feats of Nicholas Grimshaw`s Waterloo International Terminal & Santiago Calatrava`s Lyon Satolas. Other stations from all over the world include the Union Stations in St Louis, Washington, DC, Chicago & Toronto; Pennsylvania Station, New York; Helsinki, Finland; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Howrah Station, Calcutta & more. ...

Shortlisted for the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year at the Edward Stanfords Travel Writing Awards 2016. The line from London to Bristol connects two great cities, but what lies in between? London`s western suburbs, the Thames Valley, acres of farmland punctuated by tourist traps & provincial towns; what could possibly be of interest in such a landscape? To his surprise, James Attlee
- a regular traveller on the route
- finds himself knee-deep in stories, the line awash with ghosts, including those of Charles I, Oscar Wilde, T.E. Lawrence, the Beautiful Spotted Boy, Haile Selassie, Stanley Spencer, Diana Dors, Eddie Cochran & of course the creator of the line himself, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Among the living he seeks the stories of the overlooked workers who keep the trains running
- including the man who flies an owl to scare the pigeons out of Paddington station. Drawing on his own experience as a commuter Attlee explores the effect of velocity on vision, & the links railways have with music & literature. Despite the ease with which it slips backwards & forwards in time, this is not another nostalgic book about `heritage` Engl&. As Britain embarks on the greatest period of rail construction since the nineteenth century, the author argues that trains are the future, not the past. Will increased connectivity really guarantee general prosperity this time around, as Victorian engineers promised it would 175 years ago?
