Book writing

For some reason or other I started to write a new and if I must say so myself better book on trains and the landscape.

Now several years ago I started writing a book called Tain and terrain it got to edition three and then for various reasons it did not progress any further.

Well for various reasons I have looked at it again and decided that a total rewrite was needed.

So last night I darted all over again and I think that this time I have got a much better book and a much better layout for the book.

This time I still have the book starting in Woking train station and we take a trip on the train from Woking all the way to it's terminus at Weymouth pier.

All the way I talk about each train station and a bit about it's history, I then in the next chapter talk about the town that the train station is in, again talking about the places history and any other notable information that I could find out about it and that I also think is interesting.

So far in writing the book I have got every train station covers and also every town that the train stops in.

The book at this time runs to over 400 pages but I am sure that as I edit the book the page count will go down as I have at this time included a lot of information that I am behind to think is not needed.

I have also included lots of pictures to illustrate the train stations and also some of the notable features in the towns that the train stations are in.

I am not sure yet how long it is going to take to complete the book but it has to be in weeks and not days.

I will report back here as to how progress goes.
