In fact, the railway excursion is almost as old as the railway itself, dating back to the 1830s, when hordes of people from one town would descend on another for a 'cheap trip'. Susan Major has carried out much in-depth research for this book, drawing on contemporary Victorian newspapers, and has discovered that, in fact, Cook played a very minor role, mainly in encouraging middle-class people to go on more expensive excursions.
