Reprinted from the July 1938 issue of The Railway Magazine: On Sunday, May 29, the first section of a new line between Motspur Park and Leatherhead on the Southern Railway was opened to traffic.
A unique Victorian steam locomotive has been re-wheeled in “a hugely significant milestone” towards restoring the historic engine to full working order and returning it to steam for the first time since 1948.
Postal strikes planned with the Royal Mail on Friday, September 30 and Saturday, October 1. With this in mind would you please allow extra days for delivery of your favourite magazine.
