Publisher's Synopsis
Helston is world-famous for its annual 'Furry Dance', which takes place in early May to welcome the spring. For transport enthusiasts, however, it is equally famous as the location of the most southerly railway station in the UK, and the starting point of the first railway- operated motor omnibus service in Great Britain, introduced by the GWR in 1903. May 2012 marked the 125th anniversary of the opening of the Helston Railway, and the first edition of this fully illustrated history of the branch, from inception to closure, was published to mark that important date and to celebrate the re-commencement of passenger services on one small part of the line as a new popular tourist attraction. This new expanded 2nd edition brings the story up to date.
