If you are interested in reading a good mystery novel set in Edwardian times on the L&Y Railway, I would recommend 'The Blackpool Highflyer' by Andrew Martin. It features the same main character who was in 'The Necropolis Railway' who is now working as a fireman on the L&Y. Very good period feel and well researched with plenty of railway action.
Can anyone recommend any other railway based thrillers ?
