Ref: Railway 3rd July

Cole’s Books is delighted to welcome local Author Hugh Jones to talk about, and sign copies of, his new book, The Chiltern Railways Story. The book coincides with 100 years of Bicester North Station, the town’s direct connection to both London and Birmingham. This is the story of the most successful of Britain’s new private railway companies and is one of successful business despite the odds. Formed in 1996 after the privatisation of British Rail, this is a modern railway history, and one which reveals the secrets behind running a good public transport service. Combining the company history with the personal recollections of many of the railway’s personnel and customers, this fascinating book explains what Chiltern Railways means to so many.
