A tour along the M&SWJR courtesy of Mike Barnsley
Mike is a major authority on the M&SWJR. As well as writing a number of books, he has also presented many times to interested groups up and down the line.

The tour includes a selection of pictures of each section of the line from Cheltenham to Andover. As much as possible, it concentrates on the pre-grouping period. The front covers of Mike's books are also included.
