This series is intended as a record of how the proposals affecting passenger services throughout England, Scotland and Wales were ruthlessly implemented over a ten-year period. Since then, despite the introduction of modern high-speed rolling stock and much track rationalisation, the extent of our rail network has remained basically the same. Train services today are therefore still very much Dr Beeching's legacy. In addition he bequeathed to the nation a linear network of derelict land which could be put to other purposes, including that of heritage railway. The passenger rail network in each regional volume before and after Beeching is shown using maps, text and illustrations.Features the lines listed for closure including:Bangor - Afon WenBangor - AmlwychWhitchurch (Salop) - WelshpoolLlanymynech - LlanfyllinRuabon - Morfa Mawddach/BarmouthBala - Bala JunctionWrexham - Chester Northgate - New BrightonLlandudno - Blaenau Ffestiniog
