Every purchase helps someone affected by leprosy
When was smoking banned on trains?
Which actor restored kippers to the menu of the Brighton Belle?
What regular lineside event did Dickens describe as 'a shave in the air'?
Perfect for a trivia night or a long trip, Train Teasers will both test your knowledge of this country's rail system and enlighten you on the most colourful aspects of its long history. Meet trunk murderers, trainspotters, haters of railways, railway writers, Ministers for Transport good and bad, railway cats, dogs and a railway penguin.
This is NOT a book for number-crunching nerds. Many of the answers are guessable by the intelligent reader. It is a quiz, yes, but also a treasury of historical detail and colour relating to a system that was the making of modern Britain.

Change Lives With Your Shopping
Your purchase can help to end leprosy. Shopping with us will help fund leprosy research which is vital to ending leprosy transmission by 2035. Recent developments in genotyping strains of leprosy have improved accuracy of finding the source of transmission, meaning tracking and tracing of cases can be much more effective. There is also a PCR test for leprosy being developed which would be a game changer in faster and more accurate diagnosis of leprosy.
