I always looked on The Railway Herald as a quick read to keep up to date between the printed magazines. This new, longer version takes too long to read and I am not sure that I will bother to subsribe.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Thank you for that John, I've signed up! Seems that its a monthly, not weekly, but not a problem, takes less time overall. Bye bye Railway Herald, it was nice while it lasted.

Regards, 62440.

Thanks for the link, it seems like the ideal replacement.

Don't like new format. Forever zooming to read; took some time to get used to moving around page. I will not be subscribing.

New Railway Herald

Agree with previous posts-takes far longer to read-spent more time zooming and navigating than reading,especially as could only do this on the mouse, not on my computer keys. Not being able to download it a major problem
(compulsive hoarder),certainly not worth paying for as it stands.
Thanks for the Railtalk tip,Robbo. Railway Herald-RIP

The new format is nowhere near as good as the old pdf file. But...I spend far too much of my time on the 'dark side' of the internet and as such I know how to do things that perhaps we're not supposed to. After a little work last night I now have issue 300 stored on my computer as a pdf. Much nicer.

Mischief managed.

Perhaps you could send me a private message on how to achieve such a thing; I've got 298 of the 299 previous issues stored in a file labelled 'Railway Herald', I like to check through things in my own good time - in the middle of March I'm off to Spain for the best part of three weeks, and this new format has effectively put the kybosh on me saving, or even SEEING, any of the issues emerging during that period. It's a pain in the a**e, to be honest, I fumbled around for some time, but just gave up in the end, it's more trouble than it's worth. A great shame, it was a quality product, but they just had to b*gg*r around with it, just to 'keep up to date'. I've never much liked PDFs to be honest, but they're simplicity personified compared to the new format. I certainly won't be subscribing - they've made it hard work, temporary, and very importantly, no longer quite as free as it appears.
Bah humbug.
