Modern Railways

I would like the publishers to stop printing article text on of photograph backgrounds. The text can be very hard to read, especially when the photograph is a night-time dark shot.

Roger Ford, Ian Walmsley and Alan Williams' columns are always excellent - but I would like a little more coverage re multiple units/coaching stock changes Reviewed 21 February 2025

Best in class

History of high-quality articles and reviews Reviewed 19 April 2022

Very good articles

Model railways in all its glory highly entertaining Reviewed 19 April 2022

Modern Railways

Xx Reviewed 20 January 2021

Modern Railways

I find the current UK rail news and comment sections most interesting, particularly ‘Informed Sources’ and ‘Pan Up’, both of which make the magazine a must have each month. I really appreciate how both Roger and Ian bring their knowledge and experience into their articles, but always with the ability to point out where policies and decisions are quite often, seriously flawed, making their articles very informative and enjoyable to read, all laced with intelligent humour as required. I often wish our politicians could display similar clarity of thought and intelligence! Reviewed 24 September 2020
