Stop Press, June 2021
Given the restrictions on travel, reduced rail traffic and closure of bookshops and collections in the first half of 2021, we asked the Rail Guide author, Pip Dunn, to update the information in Rail Guide 2021 to cover the changes that had taken place since the 2021 guide was published in December 2020.
While creating these updates, Pip has also taken the time to incorporate extra information for the Rail Guide, including in particular information on Irish Railways, London Transport and other Light Rail systems.
The result is the Rail Guide 2021 Supplement, and we are now presenting this supplement free of charge as a service to our valued readers in the hope that this will help everyone get the best use from the 2021 Rail Guide.
To receive the free 80 page pdf of the Rail Guide 2021 supplement, simply send an e-mail to:
railguide2021@crecy.co.uk
In the subject line, please use the wording 'Rail Guide 2021'
We'll then e-mail you the supplement, free of charge. It's as easy as that.
