Britain’s best-selling rail title The Railway Magazine is back for another month of award-winning photos, news, features and exclusives from the rail industry, past and present.

Here’s what to expect in the August issue of The Railway Magazine:

Headline Lines

Bright future for post-Covid railfreight growth; European lines wrecked by heavy rain and floods; Hybrid Class 37 project amongst ‘First of a kind ’funding winners; Ryde Pier Drewry railcar rebuild complete; ‘Perfect time to reshape the industry’; ‘Pendolino’ upgrade programme begins.

Life & times of the Horncastle Railway

50 years after The Railway Magazine’s hometown of Horncastle lost its railway, Pete Kelly previews a superb new exhibition celebrating the town’s railway history and branch from Woodhall Junction

When was the real end of BR steam?

June marked 50 years since London Transport dispensed with its last ex-GWR Pannier tanks but, as
Howard Johnston reports, the final ordinary duty of a BR steam loco is not recorded.

PLUS | The Railway Magazine’s monthly news digest covering industrial, steam, Irish, narrow gauge, metro, network, freight and more!
