Synopsis "Seeking the Swilly"

In this book, Hugh tells in words and his own photograph show he has "sought and experienced the Swilly", a railway company that ran its last train in 1953 but continued serving Donegal for another 60 years, operating buses and lorries as much like a railway as it could. Hugh's odyssey began in 1965, and the earliest photos in the book date from one of those trips, in July of that year. Hugh got into a bit of bother himself, photographing the buses in Pennyburn Yard, oblivious to the fact the British Army HQ was in the background. Luckily, he had a letter of permission from the company manager, but you need to read his account yourself to get the full flavour. This is a most enjoyable book, and that's due to the author's love and enthusiasm for the subject matter.
