Books by Geoff Body

Here Geoff Body and his son Ian have collated a selection of entertaining and revealing anecdotes that illustrate just how unexpected working on the railways can be.

Encompassing the whole of the Somerset coast, with detailed explorations of the ports, the vessels and their owners, skippers and crews, and the evolution of the inland distribution process, Any Muddy Bottom presents a comprehensive and vivid portrait of the county's remarkable shipping heritage.

Running a railway is a complex business, constantly throwing up drama, misadventure and the unexpected.

An entertaining and instructive journey for anyone with an interest in life on the railways
