The Miracle Railway (The Stationmaster Miracle)

In 1910, George Miracle, 12, sweeps the platforms of London's busiest railway station. His pay is terrible but the tips are like gold. Promotion to lad porter is his dream. Having an uncle as stationmaster can be a disadvantage. With smoke and steam all around, he deals with passengers, their pets, proposals and problems. Helping one chap sees George travel to Hampstead Heath where he's arrested for murder! As a teenager, he's conscripted and joins the army to fight in France. Britain's railways are a mess with 120 railway companies often fighting for the same passengers and freight. Amalgamate is the cry and 120 becomes 4. George's uncle moves from London to the sticks taking George and his family with him. Small station, pretty village and gorgeous little branch line with fascinating yet bonkers staff. Talk about a lifestyle change. But danger lurks. Road haulage companies threaten to kill the railways. Little branch lines are due for the chop. Can George Miracle survive?
