The issues
Another year, another line, another night.
Each month is one story from the railways, told by the people who were there, with the pieces that go with it. Every issue stands on its own.
Members get each issue as it comes, on the 10th of the month. Any issue still in stock can also be bought on its own, £8.99 with UK postage, posted within three working days. Once an issue is gone, it is gone.
Issue One. 1895
Kinnaber
The Race to the North, August 1895. One night, told by four who were there.
August 1895. Two groups of railway companies are racing overnight from London to Aberdeen, and the two roads meet at a junction called Kinnaber, 38 miles short of the finish, where whichever train is offered first gets the road. One night, told by four who were there: the correspondent with his watch on his knee, the guard, the signalman at the frame, and the fireman on the last engine.
In the parcel: the story, the route chart, the signal box diagram, the crossword, two collectable cards, the postcard. Posted from 10 November 2026.
