In recent years railtours have become a staple part of railway operations in the UK. With a large assortment of both locomotives and coaching stock that date as far back as the pre-privatisation days of British Railways, there is always something of interest for everyone.

Through a vivid selection of previously unpublished images, Adam Head celebrates an extensive and captivating range of railtours as they travel around the rail network as well as the locations that they visit.
