Krátký popis
''HUGELY ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIVE'' EVENING STANDARD''A FEAST
OF ANECDOTAGE'' SUNDAY TIMES Throughout the twentieth century, the
seaside service posters of Britain''s railways promised fresh air
and frivolity to millions of urban dwellers with the phrase: ''To
the sea by train''. A staple of modern British life, the seaside
getaway was intertwined with the train, in whose compartments
holidaymakers were shunted from smog-choked cities to sandy
coves.With his signature wit and anecdotal style, Andrew Martin
captures an era defined by its railways: from the development of
Brighton and Scarborough into pleasure resorts, and the
introduction of bank holidays and two-day weekends, to the advent
of cheap flights and the British coast''s subsequent decline.
Humorous and evocative, To the Sea by Train takes a charming tour
through Britain''s most beloved pastime.
