Australian Railway History | June 2016
Royal tours provide the opportunity for railways to show off their most luxurious VUP carriages and the 1934 tour by the Duke of Gloucester saw the most extensive travel by royal trains in Australia’s history with each railway system hosting components of the tour. Part 1 of the article by Geoff Lillico and Ray Pickard on this tour is the feature article in the June ARH.
It is backed by Part 1 of Colin Bull’s account of Alan Parkinson’s railway career and Adrian Rynberk’s recollections of ‘My First Raifan Trip’ as a schoolboy in August 1964. Both are well-illustrated accounts of railway operations and the roles played by enthusiasts. A book review and readers’ letters round-off the issue.
