The Middleton Press library covering the Midland Main Lines continues to grow with the latest volume showing pictorially the route west out of Rugby, through Coventry and on to Birmingham. It also includes the line from Weedon, via Daventry and Leamington Spa to Kenilworth and the line running Southwest from Rugby, intercepting the former at Marton Junction. In the usual familiar style, the book contains an interesting selection of black and white photographs, taken over a long period of time, Ordnance Survey map extracts which show stations, junctions etc., timetables and ticketing information with ticket facsimiles.
