Overview

The Windsor to Slough branch was used regularly by Queen Victoria. When she died her body was taken by train to Windsor for burial, a tradition since followed three times up to 1952. Naturally the royal use of the line is comprehensively covered, and an appendix lists all royal trains used by the monarch on the line which an intensive search of archives has produced. We are fortunate in that two of Windsor's station masters left detailed diaries which the author has drawn on to give a unique picture of the line. This book consists of 288 pages of art paper, 98 photographs, 20 maps, plans, documents and timetables. There is also large fold-out map which shows a survey of the line in 1880 when the route was still broad gauge. Presented in an A5 format with printed endpapers, this is casebound with a very attractive gold laminated and full-colour jacket.
