The cost effective way of reaching the influential decision makers in the railway industry

Are you trying to get your message across to top executives in the railway industry?

Look no further: Modern Railways is essential reading for all the players in Britain's privatised railway industry - as well as overseas administrations.

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 the Railway Forum, 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.
