Take a trip back in time on the GWR! Steaming into the West traces the history of this great railway back to its beginning, and further still, to a time when a young George Stephenson was starting to think about his own future, and the future of transport in Britain and beyond.

Transporting us from these very early days and throughout the age of steam trains, this entertaining book informs and educates through affectionate and witty tales of engine crews and their colleagues, passengers and management. As with previous titles in this much-loved series, the effects of historical events on the railways are related, offering an insight into this often overlooked but crucial part of life in times of both war and peace.

Fans of Michael Clutterbuck's earlier titles will no doubt recognise a few familiar names, including the ever popular 'dream team', Driver George Denton and Fireman Lance Hargreaves.
