Railway Bylines searchable full index?

[Ralf]

Hi Folks, 

 

Has anyone got / an index to the back issues of Railway Bylines - I know there's a year by year one on the Irwell Press website BUT a) it stops with Vol 21 a few years ago and b) you can only search 1 volume at a time and c) it'd be nice to have some tags eg "NCB", "Colliery", "Mountain Ash" - from a personal perspective! 

 

Has anyone compiled / made / got any alternatives??

 

Thanks

Ralf

Just about to ask the same question, and found this topic via a search.

As nobody replied, I guess the answer was "No!"

You can look through the volume indexes on Irwell's website, but everything is listed by title only.

Cheers, Dave.

And a lot of the titles (especially earlier years) are fairly cryptic and no use whatsoever when searching by subject.

I have been trying to merge the Irwell indexes but to date keep on losing the first digit of some three digit page numbers for some reason I  cannot fathom.

Saving it to what form - Excel I assume?

 

Perhaps you have a column labelled 'Page' or similar? If so make sure the format of the column is 'General' rather than 'Number'.

Yes Excel is involved I'll have  a look at the column formats
