Branch Lines Around Ascot: From Ash Vale, Weybridge, Staines & Wokingham

These former secondary lines of the London & South Western Railway were the primary force in the development of this residential area. They also linked the surrounding marshalling yards, dutifully served the Army, transported racegoers by the thousands and were regularly used by a circus. Varied photographs and numerous maps help to visualise the many changes that have taken place in over a century of railway activity.
