Ok a bit of a broad topic so I'll try to narrow it down a touch, I may ramble a bit, please bear with me.
For many years I disliked London, my occasional trips from York as a child, teenager and young adult did nothing to inspire me. Recently my viewpoint has been modified, and though I still wouldn't want to live there, I find it terrifically exciting. I'm sure that it's in no small part due to London meaning St Pancras, St Pancras meaning Eurostar and Eurostar meaning holidays. I'm also sure that nostalgia, Ealing Comedies and repeats of the Sweeny are in the mix too.
Now that Morfa has gone, thoughts have turned to what I might replace it with. I find myself increasingly drawn to central London in the sixties/early seventies. Earlier this year I picked up this book, a fantastic colour album featuring the railways around Northamptonshire.
I'm hoping that someone could recommend something of similar quality, but featuring the railways of central London.
Many thanks.
