Completed by the North British Railway as a territorial excursion into England, the Border Counties line soon settled into a sleepy rural existence that lasted for nearly a century, a local lifeline that is still fondly remembered.

Some of the route has been wiped out after the building of the Kielder reservoir scheme and associated works.

This book is a welcome addition to material covering the branch lines of Northumberland in general and the Border Counties line from Hexham to Riccarton Junction.
