Contact Webmaster

Some people are so sufficiently disturbed that they wish to contact the Webmaster. If counselling fails and the urge continues, you can contact the Webmaster by email if you click here. On the other hand, further counselling is a better option.

Other Organisations

The Stafford Railway Circle was established in 1957 and is a member of the following organisations:
bullet The Stafford District Arts Council

So there.

Board

Believe it or not, there are some people who are actually responsible for all of this. In fact, most of them have not yet been locked up.

The names of the members of the Circle's Board are available if you CLICK HERE.

(NOTE: Some people think that if you don't click here, the Board will go away. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Like the poor, the Board is always with us.)

Dublin tram collision

Sometimes, something comes along which just deserves to be featured on its own for the sheer joy of what the pictures portray.

 

This is one of those occasions.

Linesider for December 2011

Due to a change in the software being used for its production, the SRC's in-house magazine "Linesider" did not get produced in November.

However, it made a triumphant return in December and includes much of the sort of stuff that SRC members have come to expect. Since he is a true gentleman, the Editor of the worthy organ does not include a lot of the material that SCR members would like to expect.


Oh ... don't forget that you can see David Hughes' photographs in our Album pages in full colour.

Another month, another Album

As you will read elsewhere, the latest edition of "Linesider", the SRC's in-house magazine for members only, has just been published. It includes an article by David Hughes which recounts travel on steam hauled trains and includes photographs taken during those journeys.

Steam Specials
This shows steam stuff through to the end of February 2012

 

This schedule was prepared on 24 January 2012.

 

There's not a great deal happening during the month. There's news of a further delay to the "Help For Heroes special (which now might run in March).

Once again, the website has tried to be helpful. Once again, we will get it in the neck from the SRC Board, which does not do "helpful".
