In The End of the Woodhead Route: Electric Trains Stop Here, transport
historian Stephen Heginbotham takes a fresh look at this famous and much
mourned route. Perhaps the most keenly missed stretch of track in the
entire country, the possibility of the Woodhead Route being reopened
remains an ever present issue when the state of the nation's railways is
discussed. Utilising a superb selection of previously unpublished
photographs from the camera of Ian Blackburn, the true story behind this
iconic part of the British landscape is told.
