The Miracle Branch Line

Beschreibung

It's 1923 in East Anglia and the small rural branch line to Crabbtree is under attack. Passengers and freight have vanished, and road haulage blokes are killing the railways. Close the branch. Rip up the tracks and abandon all station buildings. The youngest station master in England, George Miracle, faces the closure of his branch line but is confused. His LNER bosses in London receive reports that George's branch is booming. What? It's bust. An inspection looms. Miracle will be revealed as incompetent or worse, a fraudster. Can George save the branch and his career? There's a wedding or two in his family and, not to be outdone, George too falls hopelessly in love. From a garden party at Buckingham Palace to an isolated Halt where history comes alive, George's adventures will grab you and not let go. His village of Whittleton has amazing residents including Septimus Oldmeadow the award-winning novelist who secretly writes limericks, and Horace Gardiner, the Capability Brown of station-garden designs. Both inspire George. But when this peaceful village is visited by a greedy, would-be murderer, and then by two desperate armed robbers, George's station, the branch, his family and his love life are in mortal danger. Good luck, George.
