The Railway Correspondence & Travel Society (RCTS) is Britain’s leading organisation for people interested in all aspects of railways past, present and future and is highly regarded by both professional railway people and enthusiasts, a position it has held since its formation in 1928.

I have initially posted in our Heritage / attractions / rail history area based on looking through various branch programs and seeing them majoring on historic topics, but should knowledgable Coffee Shop members advise, I am happy to move them to somewhere more appropriate.

RCTS has the following branches - bolded are those in the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) area

Bristol
Cambridge
Cheltenham
Chichester
Croydon & South London
East Midlands
Furness, Lakes & Lune
Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City
Humberside
Ipswich
Lancashire & North West
Merseyside, Cheshire & North Wales
Milton Keynes
North East
Northampton
Peterborough
Scotland
Sheffield
Solent
South Essex
South Wales / De Cymru
Surrey

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. We are an independent forum, provided and run by customers of Great Western Railway, for customers of Great Western Railway and we welcome railway professionals as members too, in either a personal or official capacity. 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 ...
