Description or summary of the audiobook: Author Bob Pixton brings readers the latest in his successful series of railway titles, outlining the Cheshire Railway Lines. The reader takes an imaginary journey from west to east, stopping at all the stations and other important railway features along the line. While the main focus is the route between the two towns, the traffic and the connections generating it are explored. Long before today's road-dominated freight transport service, there was a line that bypassed the city of Manchester, to the south. This route connected the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway from Sheffield with the Cheshire Lines route between Manchester and Liverpool, and connected with almost every other line in the district to create a vital artery for goods traffic. This new title aims to provide interesting social history told through a range of various photographs allied to informative and descriptive text, and will appeal to both those interested in the local area as well as general rail enthusiasts worldwide.
