Railnews Magazine April 2013 Edição anterior

April’s Railnews has the details of major changes affecting the rail industry.

The DfT’s franchise rethink is at the top of a crowded agenda, and the Business section includes a special analysis of some of the implications.

Other important stories include the High Court ruling against nine out of ten claims made by opponents to HS2, an update on the restoration of the line near Doncaster which was wrecked by a colliery landslip and a warning that the long-established Railway Benevolent Fund is facing a financial crisis.

On a happier note, Railnews also reports the Royal visit to the Underground, describes how the railway has been transformed since the Beeching years and reveals why robot birds are being employed by Network Rail.
