Ideal for recruitment:

Companies in the rail industry wishing to fill vacancies find Modern Railways and jobs-in-rail.co.uk, our specialist website the effective recruitment medium. Well-qualified potential applicants read Modern Railways: recruit them for your firm through our recruitment pages.

Top notch writers:

Our writers include Roger Ford, the rail industry guru: his widely-acclaimed ‘Informed Sources' column strips away the PR hype to reveal what is really happening in the industry. Inveterate traveller Alan Williams presents a railway user's viewpoint. Our ‘Europeview' column brings a round-up of significant news from Europe's railways. Modern Railways covers all aspects of the railway scene. Our pages bring news of developments in the three railway engineering traditions: traction and rolling stock; infrastructure; signalling and control. We also cover management issues such as marketing, passenger information and business development.

Want to network?:

In association with Transport Writing Services, Modern Railways runs the Fourth Friday Club, a luncheon club for rail industry executives. The club meets in central London several times a year for an informal luncheon, with an after lunch speech from a senior figure in the industry. If you would like to come along, call James Abbott on +44(0)1892 860406 or email: modern.railways@googlemail.com or visit: www.4thfriday.co.uk
