He began photographing railways in 1978 and has contributed to many railway publications including a number featuring the Woodhead route, which he photographed extensively during its closing years. Vaughan is a transport history author specialising in railways.
Reviews
'British Rail Motive Power in the 1980s is one of the best collections of photographs I've seen put together in an Amberley photo book and for GBP15.99 is represents excellent value for money.' -- Railways Illustrated Magazine
'This photo album from Amberley presents a striking array of previously unpublished, high-quality colour images from a fascinating decade, capturing sights that would soon disappear forever.' -- Model Rail Magazine
'A nostalgic and informative book showcasing the near past of a railway system and country that has evolved much in 40 years.' -- Hornby Magazine, March 2024
