This is file LM028 - a major new publication. The information in it is the result of extensive scholarly work by Peter King (our member No. 1133). In the process he consulted a wide range of primary sources at the National Archives in Kew and at other locations.

We have quite a number of new items which will be on sale at Norwich.

Journals 160 and 161 are on their way, so their files are now available in the Emporium. There are related changes to other items which are on offer.

Until now we have been responsible to HMRC for VAT payments on our sales. Our annual turnover is far below their threshold value, however, so there is no need to register with them.  Simple.

I have now received the scans of this magazine from 1910 to 1922, and I can assure you that Book Scan Bureau have done us proud - they are excellent.

The Railway and Travel Monthly was published by George Nokes (‘G A Sekon’) when he left the Railway Magazine following a disagreement. The first issue appeared in 1910.
