Therefore I am delighted to confirm Paul Bickerdyke will be the new editor – the 1th in the magazine’s history. Paul has edited Rail Express since 2013 and is no stranger to The RM having previously been its designer as well as a key contributor. Most importantly, Paul will take the magazine on the next stage of its journey. Two new team members, Gareth Evans and Graeme Pickering, will ably assist him.
But above all, I offer my thanks to each and every reader for their continued support and loyalty towards The RM, along with the feedback both good (and not so good), and hope to meet some of you as a less intensive working life beckons. My email address remains cmilner@mortons.co.uk
Finally, a very special thank you to my wife Debbie, who has put up with 30-plus years of railway writing, but above all for allowing me to indulge in what began as a hobby and then became a career. I’m reliably informed there’s a list of jobs for me to tackle at home… which I suspect will conveniently clash with the places and events I plan to visit!
