Every railway line is unique, or so will argue the fans who speak fondly of their own favourite part of Britain’s once extensive spider’s web of iron roads. Some were born out of conflict, many were country branches, others carried through trains for goods and people, or had complexes of goods-only sidings for both industry and mineral workings. Some also were the occasional route of main line trains. What was so special about the Lincoln and Honington line was that it had all of these features and more, a fascinating history that deserves to be better known. The author tells the story of the line and the industry it served (predominantly ironstone) with feeling for the area and the people.
