Western Lines North: This book covered the West Coast main line from Crewe to Gretna Junction, the Cumbrian Coast route, Crewe to Holyhead, all things L&NW to the south and north east of Manchester, and related branches. Also included sections of the G.C. around Chester and the Wirral. (Most lines now completed or under construction. All routes and place names listed)

Midland Lines: This book covered the routes from London St. Pancras to Manchester Central, Marylebone northwards to the regional boundary with the Eastern Region, the Woodhead route west of the tunnel and the whole of the Cheshire Lines Committee.

(All routes and place names listed, but no other details except for Midland Main Line and Trent to Manchester Central and some associated routes)
