The subscription service for the Midland Times is excellent and the fastest way to receive this excellent magazine.

No 5 is the latest volume in this excellent series. Wide ranging content full of interesting articles. I I learn something new from every issue. Thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in this Midland area of operation.

A nice, sometimes quirky, selection of tales from “Midland land” across the years from the early pre-grouping to the end of regular steam on Britain’s main-line railways. Produced to Transport Treasury’s usual superb quality, these rather expensive volumes are building up into a collection that bears dipping into whenever a shot of tales of the former LMS empire is required.

By accident of war, I was born on the Isle of Sheppey, deep in South Eastern & Chatham territory. My father’s demob however saw us in Liverpool. I did not know it at the time but the curate who took Sunday School at the adjacent church in Wavertree, spent his leisure hours using a lineside pass in the majestic cuttings and tunnels through which trains leave Lime Street; his name, Eric Treacy. I was to meet him later judging a photographic competition for the Leeds University Railway and Transport Society. Midland Times is essential reading, both for those of us who have witnessed the transition from steam through a not particularly happy period of dieselisation to electrification. Politicians meanwhile were dismantling of the integrated railway that had become best in Europe, then after 30 years reaching a sort of consensus that the railway should be reintegrated as Great British Railways. The “Midland” of the title allows broad geographical and organisational scope for the brilliantly illustrated articles that range wide over the territory in the eclectic fashion that distinguishes the “Times” series.
