Thanks for posting. I've had a very quick flick through it and the idea of interlining from Newcastle to Scilly is interesting. 60 years later and it's still not been done. I looked at going back to the Scillies this year, but by the time I included the need for at least one night's accom in Penzance it would have cost me roughly the same amount as going to Toronto on BA!

Thanks for sharing this! I wanted to read it on my e-reader and found that I needed to do a bit of tinkering to get it to work properly. If you want to have the resulting EPUB file, let me know. It could save others the trouble to do the same.
