The Guardian has a collection of transport articles here. Unfortunately, Private Eye's informative "Signal Failures" railway section is not featured at their otherwise outshtanding site. Rail Users Consultative Committees (the Rail Regulator's site!). The addresses of the regional committees are listed. Some of them have web addresses; most do not.  The enquiries into the Ladbroke Grove and Southall rail disasters both have web sites. For the really bad news, go HERE for information about nuclear traffic on British rail and a handy map of the most popular nuke routes. These trains run regularly, no matter what happens to the passenger network. RAILWATCH is the quarterly magazine of the Railway Development Society, a body formed to press for greater use of, and investment in, our railway system. But beware! Much of this Internet-based information (rather like the train timetables themselves) is hopelessly out of date. The Mark Thomas site, for instance, is dated 8 Nov 1998, and refers users to a pressure group called SAVE OUR RAILWAYS, which, sadly, no longer exists.
