What do people talk about 'beyond' the Coffee Shop on rail related transport ... I had a quick look at the number of members on various Facebook groups I'm a member of ... and taking member numbers as representing some form of interest measure ...

Now - there may be other groups (and significant ones) I have not come across ... and I have not listed / compared to any (business) pages, nor non-transport pages I'm a member of such as Historic Melksham with 3407 members, the Four in a Bed fan club (4064) or the Lurcher Appreciation Society with 33843!

Do you have something you would like to add to this thread, or would you like to raise a new question at the Coffee Shop? Please [register] (it is free) if you have not done so before, or login (at the top of this page) if you already have an account - we would love to read what you have to say!

You can find out more about how this forum works [here] - that will link you to a copy of the forum agreement that you can read before you join, and tell you very much more about how we operate.

Views expressed in posts are not necessarily the views of the operators of the forum.

As well as posting messages onto existing threads, and starting new subjects, members can communicate with each other through personal messages if they wish. And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
