Critics Review
For the jaundiced commuter, On the Slow Train Again is the perfect tonic. Michael Williams is a knowledgeable and entertaining companion. * The Tablet *
A delicious read, an evocative tour of our heritage, and a past that, in some places at least, still remain in the present * Evening Standard *
Charming * Choice *
A wonderful follow-up to his excellent On The Slow Train … The author weaves the strands of past times, and how the railways have changed, in with the details of the present day places wonderfully well … Williams has a languid, charming, almost hypnotic style of writing which is well worth reading for the sheer pleasure of his language * Bookbag *
One man’s joyous account of his two-year, 30,000 mile quest to find Britain’s most enchanting rail journeys * Daily Mail *
Williams is an ardent train buff… and a first class journalist with a keen eye and gift for info-packed prose * Independent *
