Über den Autor
An interest in railways was instilled in Alistair Holt by his father in 1968 when he was taken around places like Lostock Hall and Carnforth. His interest lapsed in the 80s but never really went away and has been reawakened by both the interest shown by his eldest son and memories brought back by the photograph collection left to him by his father.
