| On offer at 25% discount - limited to current stocks In presenting the second, and somewhat overdue, volume of GREAT WESTERN HALTS, Kevin Robertson has completed the story covering all known Halts and Platforms under the letters M-Y. As Before details are given of the location of each, together with opening date, facilities and interesting operational or local features. In this way the practice that applied in South Wales of 'Penning' the passengers until the train arrived is discussed and like wise locations that were served only on certain days of the week as well as those that possessed two platforms but at different locations. With over 200 photographs and drawings, as well as an update on the previous volume, this concluding volume will complete the history of what was once an everyday aspect of the Great Western scene.
