My name is Jamie Robertson and I am a Masters student at Kingston University in London. I have been reading the Railway Magazine for 10 years, so when I was 12 years old in 2014. I just love the railway magazine- it makes me up-to-date with the latest railway headlines in the UK, Europe and The World! A much lighter read than current headlines. Thanks to Pocketmags for developing it! ### 5/5 — Railway magazine *2018-10-07* A good honest read, every month. ### 1/5 — Great magazine, poor App *2018-08-26* Great magazine but the app is poor, sometimes will not load and freezes, or just will not open. Has a habit os spinning round when opened. Very strange ### 5/5 — Nice one! *2016-04-23* Nice magazine for a good price. Also very nice app! ### 3/5 — Good read *2015-10-21* A great read but download is a different matter. I have a great download speed but it takes over 3 hours to download the magazine.But the magazine is worth the wait. David Dow. ### 5/5 — Railway Magazine *2015-08-30* Well presented and easy to read. As a practical issue, great way to store a mag!! ### 5/5 — A great read *2014-12-26* The best read about railways, current and historical, far better written with authority than all the others put together. Good innovative articles alongside established standard article which set the standard for others to follow. ### 5/5 — Railway magazine *2014-08-03* Very informative in keeping up with uk news ### 5/5 — Sets the standard *2014-07-23* This is THE magazine to read if you are interested in the UK railway scene. It's cheap and easy to read - especially on the train! I download each issue before i go and then i don't have to worry about paying for wifi on the train. Keep up the excellent work team! ### 5/5 — A great read *2014-06-10* My Dad has been reading RM for as long as I can remember but his attic is bursting with back issues. I bought him an iPad at Christmas and loaded on a subscription to this and he's over the moon with it (as is my Mum as she's starting to get some space back!). A great read, cannot recommend highly enough. Well done, Railway Magazine! ## Frequently asked questions about Railway Magazine ### What kind of content does Railway Magazine offer?
