Interesting.

This is the first issue of this that I've ever had a look at. A little too heavy on Preservation stuff for my liking (but thats just my prefrence) some good photos.

Just one comment, a lot of the articles seem to be written as opinion, whilst this may be what you are aiming for, it did make some of the articles a little pointless, one example being the story about One Railway. The colour of the stock really isnt a way to measure success of the franhise.

I'll let Mojo comment on the use of apostrophes.....

Hope thats of help

The colours of the stock for one railway are a bit like the different types of PIS on the modern EMUs in a past issue.

Different types of PIS on EMU's - I must have missed that issue. All smells pretty disgusting to me although some 465's seem to suffer from particularly bad PIS odour in the hot weather.

Anyway, enough of the past issues, plenty of good pics there. Regarding subjective commentary of the type being discussed, it does make a change to read personal opinions rather than just strainght facts; I sometimes find myself wishing there was a little more of it in some of the published mags.

Not being against tom in anyway but it would be great for the 460s to come over!

Rumour 4: The trains would entirely replace the Gatwick
Express class 460 fleet which would send them to Wimbledon
for them to work the London Waterloo to Windsor
service with their sisters (Class 458 fleet).

Absolute trash.

Yes. Many of the articles just seem like the random jibberish-I don't actually read them.

Have a look at page 6 - how easy is it to mistake a 67 for a 66?
