I suppose I should be somewhat glad, then, that I didn't get the 2019 or 2020 versions; I'd have been even more annoyed!You’ll be double disapointed in regards to London Underground as in the 2019 and 2020 editions they started listing out the fleet in the same detail as they do light rail, so that has gone as well.
I also noted that the book was "not aimed as a 'mark-them-off' spotter's book", which I don't quite understand; that's what the ABC rail guides have, to the best of my knowledge been, since their creation.They’ve also removed southern Irish rail from the guide, with the author making a robust point in multiple places that they don’t cover any other European countries so why should they include Ireland. I’m not entirely sure that is a valid comparison and a few pages detailing Irish Rail and the Dublin Luas never really harmed anyone.
