A READING man has published a new puzzle book, this time aimed at those who have a soft spot for rail transport.

The Train Lover’s Puzzle Book, by Neil Summerville, features 200 puzzles, crosswords, quizzes, and brain-teasers.

From finding the names of famous locomotives in word searches, to true-to-life mysteries to be solved, the book includes a whole host of rail-themed oddities and activities.

Mr Somerville said: “The book offers great variety and you do not necessarily need to be a train expert to enjoy.”

Mr Somerville has lived in Tilehurst for more than 40 years, and a member of the Magic Circle.

He has also provided a special, train-themed, anagramatic brain-teaser for readers of Reading Today:
