  The most intriguing and least known of Britain's railways are the minor lines: rural routes and branch lines - some still active if little-used, others long since lost, industrial and docks lines, narrow gauge and miniature lines. These can be found in all corners of the country and represent, both historically and in modern terms, a delightful miscellany of the unusual and the quirky. With lively, informative accompanying text by Paul Atterbury, best-selling author of railway books and Antiques Roadshow expert, All Change! focuses on these minor railways, once vital to the commercial and social life of Britain but now largely forgotten, abandoned by the changes in modern-day travel and transport habits.
