A staple of modern British life, the seaside getaway was intertwined with the train, in whose compartments holidaymakers were shunted from smog-choked cities to sandy coves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith his signature wit and anecdotal style, Andrew Martin captures an era defined by its railways: from the development of Brighton and Scarborough into pleasure resorts, and the introduction of bank holidays and two-day weekends, to the advent of cheap flights and the British coast's subsequent decline. Humorous and evocative, To the Sea by Train takes a charming tour through Britain's most beloved pastime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A standalone classic' COUNTRY LIFE \n'Infectious' SPECTATOR\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56452586340694,"sku":"9781805221579","price":68.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9781805221579.jpg?v=1793655459","url":"https:\/\/www.englishbook.pl\/products\/to-the-sea-by-train-9781805221579","provider":"Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
