Living up to our claim as The Railway Video Magazine, this issue has many different features, from the M7 on the Mid Hants, through changes on the Southern, to Wales and Ireland by cab and lineside. We say ‘au revoir’ to D200, and ‘goodbye’ to loco haulage from East Anglia, we celebrate 150 years of ‘Mail by Rail’, 125 of the Festiniog (and nearly four years of Railscene!).
