Ian Body Book order

An enjoyable compilation of everyday railway incidents from railway professionals

Three railway lives from the same family - experiences working on Britain's railways over three generations

Here Geoff Body and his son Ian have collated a selection of entertaining and revealing anecdotes that illustrate just how unexpected working on the railways can be.

The formative years of Britain's railway network produced a host of ideas, activities and characters, quite a few of which now seem not only highly unusual, but sometimes little short of ridiculous.

Running a railway is a complex business, constantly throwing up drama, misadventure and the unexpected.
