{"product_id":"9781805221579","title":"To the Sea by Train","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout the twentieth century, the seaside service posters of Britain's railways promised fresh air and frivolity to millions of urban dwellers with the phrase: 'To the sea by train'. A staple of modern British life, the seaside getaway was intertwined with the train, in whose compartments holidaymakers were shunted from smog-choked cities to sandy coves. With his signature wit and anecdotal style, Andrew Martin captures an era defined by its railways: from the development of Brighton and Scarborough into pleasure resorts, and the introduction of bank holidays and two-day weekends, to the advent of cheap flights and the British coast's subsequent decline. Humorous and evocative, To the Sea by Train takes a charming tour through Britain's most beloved pastime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ips - Profile Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59608666898764,"sku":"9781805221579","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/4163\/2076\/files\/9781805221579-59e381ccee06bc96_front.webp?v=1793194720","url":"https:\/\/foxandfable.com\/en-eu\/products\/9781805221579","provider":"Fox \u0026 Fable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
