The Witham to Yatton Branch

The Witham to Yatton Branch Synopsis

As the author observes in his introduction, \"The branch line situated in North Somerset running from Witham on the Wilts, Somerset & Weymouth Railway, south of Bath, to Yatton, on the Bristol & Exeter Railway, was a curious line.\" Curious because from Yatton to Wells it was the Cheddar Valley Railway and was built as broad gauge as was the East Somerset Railway from Witham to Wells, but linking the two railways was the standard gauge Wells Branch of the Somerset & Dorset Railway. IN the usual Oakwood format Colin Maggs explains all this over ten chapters. There are ten appendices as well as maps and track diagrams, photographs, timetables and all the usual paraphernalia of the in-depth Oakwood Press treatment.
