Peter LovellPeter Lovell was born and bought up in Exeter. When a few weeks old his family bought a caravan beside the railway line at Dawlish Warren and watching trains became an integral part of his life. During the 1960s he saw steam give way to diesel-hydrauics and in the 1970s the hydraulics replaced by diesel-electrics and HSTs. A keen photography since his late teens he moved to Berkshire in 1980. Since then, he has travelled around Great Britain photographing trains and this book draws on his large personal collection. He met Patrick Bennett in France through a mutual interest in French railways. Now retired he is the webmaster for the French Railways Society and produces their monthly News Page. Read More Read Less
