SUMMARY:Railways Remembered Lake District and North Lancashire
DESCRIPTION:Railways Remembered: Lake District and North Lancashire \nThis title is a follow-up to Railways Remembered: North East England and is due for publication in spring 2026. One of the co-authors\, Charles Roberts\, tells how the project came to fruition\, illustrating his talk with a series of maps and images\, most of which didn’t quite make the cut for the finished product. In full colour\, it follows a similar format using Carlisle and the Preston-Blackburn-Burnley axis as its north and south boundary points. Featured heavily are the West Coast Main Line\, with its steep grades\, water troughs and remote scenery\, and the Cumbrian Coast. Long closed branches to places such as Silloth\, Keswick\, Coniston and Lake Side also feature. All facets of railway operations are covered: steam\, diesel and electric; town and country; freight and passenger; BR and industry.

SUMMARY:Wales: the Second 25 Years of BR
DESCRIPTION:Having been an avid spotter in his youth\, when David Allen left school he entered a dormant period. It wasn’t until 1971\, when he took the train to Wrexham and was confronted with things he thought no longer existed\, that his railway interest revived. From then on he was hooked on ‘change’. This later focussed more and more on infrastructure. Don’t worry\, there are plenty of trains but if you don’t want to see semaphore signals or signal boxes\, you will need to close your eyes! \nFor this virtual event\, you will require a ticket. Free for RCTS members\, but a £2.00 donation will be requested at the checkout. Non-member tickets are £2.00. (Or you can join the Society in the same transaction to take advantage of members’ benefits). Rather than than making individual donations for each meeting\, members may prefer to make a bulk donation at https://rcts.org.uk/product/donation-society/. \nTo receive information on coming National (and other) Zoom meetings\, please join the RCTS National Zoom E-mail List (RCTS-National@groups.io) by visiting https://groups.io/g/RCTS-National \, or by e-mail to RCTS-National+subscribe@groups.io.
