Grab the brand-new July issue of Railways Illustrated magazine for the best coverage of today’s railway scene.
Railways Illustrated reflects the energy and vitality of the present-day railway scene. Here’s what’s in the July issue:
Out of retirement
The ongoing project to export redundant high speed train vehicles to Mexico and Nigeria, which began last summer, has created a lot of interest. We speak to Robert Coleman,
the chairman of Romic Group, which is managing the project, to find out more about the company and the fascinating work being done to provide a renewed life overseas for some of the iconic HST fleet.
Brits abroad
The export of former British Rail locomotives to other countries is not a new phenomenon. Anthony Sayer provides an overview of those former British Rail-built diesel and electric locomotives which have gone on to find further employment in mainland Europe since 1998, focusing on the most recent developments.
Return to Okehampton
The reopening of the Dartmoor line between Exeter St David’s and Okehampton has been an undoubted success, with passenger numbers on the revived route far in excess of
original predictions. During a recent holiday to Devon, Andy Coward made a return visit to Okehampton to see the impressive transformation of the station building.
