Island Rail News

The Island Rail News is a bright and glossy magazine published four times each year and is distributed by post to all members mid February, mid May, mid August and mid November. In addition, the magazine is available to purchase for £3.50 from the Railway Shop at Havenstreet station and selected newsagents across the Island.

The magazine is produced by a team of dedicated Isle of Wight Steam Railway volunteers who diligently collect news stories and items of interest from across all areas and departments of the steam railway. Each edition also contains articles about the history of the island’s railways.
