** New book just published: "Under the Semaphores at Shrewsbury 1987-1994" by David J. Parker **

A snapshot of Shrewsbury's railways - especially their signalling - over 20 years ago during the era of change that preceded British Rail privatisation.

Its chapters detail the operations of all six of Shrewsbury's signalboxes open at the time (including Severn Bridge Junction; two of which have since closed) set against a backdrop of many first generation diesels, DMUs and locomotive-hauled passenger trains as they were beginning to be superseded by newer traction. Includes track plans and photographs of re-signalling work in progress.

92 pages (8 x 10 in.), 165 images (>80% colour) with detailed photograph captions and diagrams throughout. Two digital download and three print formats available, starting from £11.99. Printed books are bound on demand and are not available in bookshops.

For more details, free preview pages and to order visit: www.blurb.co.uk/b/5509341.

Thanks for everyone's interest in my book!

It's still available as detailed above and might even make an original Christmas present idea for someone. Here's what the cover looks like...
