    • 2019 October, Chris Stokes, “Between the Lines”, in Modern Railways, page 97:
      This is a far cry from the days when summer Saturdays on the North Wales coast were by far the busiest days of the year, with successive full length loco-hauled trains, but life has changed: families no longer travel by rail to spend a fortnight's holiday at British seaside resorts!

      The 1987 book British Piers was written at a time when Britain's seaside resorts were perhaps at their lowest ebb, with a groundswell of support for rejuvenation and conservation just beginning.
