Railnews Magazine October 2015 Back Issue

English

Only $2.99

The election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party has been followed by a debate about railway ownership. Our lead this month reports reactions to his plan to gradually renationalise the passenger operators. One senior Industry figure tells Railnews "be careful what you wish for".

Meanwhile, September has been a month of railway landmarks. The Queen has opened the Borders Railway, while the newly-enlarged Birmingham New Street also opened its doors. To complete a trio of openings, the Hitachi train factory in County Durham has been completed.

New rolling stock may be on its way, but one intriguing project aims to give a new lease of life to old District Line trains, converting them into 'new' diesels. We have pictures of the work so far, and also hear from the man behind the plans in Guest Opinion.

And we also reveal exclusively why the colour of station signs pointing the way to Rugby World Cup venues is calculated to bring about a spirit of harmony in the most rumbustious First XV.

This and much more is in Railnews for October.
