TRAINS NO MORE.
From an important independent cross-country route through the status of a vital link between the Midlands and the South coast and ending up as a rural backwater, the erstwhile Midland & South Western Junction line through Marlborough had witnessed it all. Here for the first time is a personal account of the station and its environs in its final years and compiled by someone who really was in the know, Richard James the son of the last Marlborough station master.

mharris –
An excellent book which will be appreciated by anyone who knew the M,S,W.J.R. in B.R days, or who simply wishes to learn “how things were” in the 1960’s towards the end of many much-loved rural lines – a time so distant from today’s railway. There is a real sense of a railway serving its community which had been fostered by generations of staff. The book is enlivened by some excellent black and white and colour photographs. Highly recommended.
