About the author

Robin Jones was born in Shirley, Solihull, and became interested in railways at the age of four, when his elder brother Stewart took him trainspotting at Widney Manor station on the Birmingham Snow Hill to Leamington Spa main line. He proudly owns one of the station signs from that period. An English graduate at the University of Central England, he was an investigative journalist and news editor at the Birmingham Evening Mail before founding Heritage Railway magazine in 1999 - he is still the editor. Robin has written several books on railways, travel and local history.

Summary

Since the mid-nineteenth century the East Coast Main Line has been one of the major routes from London to northern England and to Scotland. This book looks at how the London-Edinburgh line became the world's fastest steam railway and how its proud and unique heritage is appreciated and celebrated today more than ever before.
