"This book was written at the suggestion of John Tanner of the Kiveton Park and Wales Community History Project. As one who has been interested in railways but was not born and bred in the area it gave me the opportunity not only to learn about railways in and around the village but also the chance to document my findings.
This book is not meant to be an academic or technical history. It is simply an attempt to chronicle in a few short pages an important segment of our village’s recent past..."
