To view Sir Roy McNulty's Value for Money Study in full, visit:

If Sir Roy wished to get a handle on how today's railways are run, there would have been no better publication than the current routeing guide Grin

I was in the Oxfam shop on Mutley Plain in Plymouth today and they had a few railway books in stock.  All pretty modern and nothing very special (from my point of view).  I picked up a "Then and Now" book on the Conwy Valley Line (Blaenau Ffestiniog), new at ^17.95, Oxfam at ^12.99.   I left it there.

Looking over at the Devon interest books, I saw an old book with the letters G.W.R. on the spine.  Glorious Devon, second edition from 1929.  Not brilliant condition, but not bad either. 

I think it was worth ^2.99.
Not bad -^21.50 on eBay with a broken spine!
