Does anyone know anything about this magazine, or ever heard of it before? I can't find anything online, and I assume it's not the 'London Transport' magazine that's referred to in the article.

A BRAVE RAILWAY PORTER ON THE FURNESS RAILWAY.
Last Saturday's "Transport" contains an excellent photograph of Thomas Clarke, porter at Kirkby Station, Furness Railway, to whom as recorded three weeks ago, the Prince of Wales, at Marlborough House, recently presented a bronze medal of the St. John Ambulance Association for great gallantry and presence of mind displayed on 25th July, 1899, at Kirkby Station, in rescuing a man who was engaged in shunting operations, and had got caught between the steps of a moving wagon and the platform of a goods shed. Clarke got under the wagon from the side between the front and back wheels, and held the injured man up until the wagon was stopped.(The Cumberland Pacquet, Thursday 9th August 1900)
