A Sense of Travel
Overview
Roderick Craig Low takes us on a nostalgic and often amusing ramble through his memories of travel at a time when moving from one place to another was largely undertaken using public transport.
He introduces us to a world of bashful newlyweds, characterful tramcar crews, incredulous parents, impeccable Pullman car attendants, impatient fellow-travellers, self-educated tube-train guards, suspicious station buffet ladies, celebrity footplate heroes, risk-taking school-friends, influential ancestors, wild sea-coal gatherers, shy girlfriends, courageous quarrymen, patient railwaymen, and indulgent land-ladies. In their company, we meet the conveyances that provided tens of thousands with forms of employment that are now largely a thing of the past.
