- Trains Of Thought
- Byfield (S&MJR) - A station of character and characters
- Byfield resident Rex Partridge remembers how his local station was much more than a wayside station serving an ironstone community, and recalls sightings from its last decade of service, when the Shakespeare line's raison d'etre as a key east-west freight artery was briefly realised.
- Nottingham (Great Northern)
- In his third article on Nottingham, Wallace Hill describes how the hugely ambitious Great Northern Railway gained a foothold in the city as part of a much stronger desire to tap the lucrative Nottinghamshire coalfield traffic
- Steam Days in Colour 66: The Callander & Oban line - Part Two
- The first main line into the West Highlands was sadly truncated to just 41¼ miles in September 1965. Officially fully dieselised in July 1962, we step back to relive the final years of steam hauled trains on the section of Oban main line that survived Dr Beeching
- The Hereford, Ross & Gloucester Railway
- Stanley Jenkins explores the origins of the cross-country railway that ran across the Wye and Severn valleys between the cathedral cities of Hereford and Gloucester, via Ross-on-Wye
