Reviews

A significant and worthwhile book showing new light on a topic little covered previously. --Welsh Railways Research Circle 147 An excellent book, warmly recommended. Into the 'mutual antagonism' between the Chartists and the railway companies there is scope for further investigation and Dr. Major would be a most suitable person to undertake it. --Midland Railway Society This is a fascinating, clear, well-referenced and elegantly annotated book --Historical Model Railways Society

Author Information

Susan Major completed a PhD with the Institute of Railway Studies & Transport History at the University of York in 2012. Drawing upon material from the National Railway Museum and the British Library, she focused on early railway excursion crowds. In her earlier research on working class leisure, she analysed the diary of a West Yorkshire village wheelwright over a long period, to investigate the effects of the coming of the railway on family life. Susan is retired and lives in York.
