Just a shame that I can't download it. I have a digital subscription which expires Feb 2016. There is however no "read" button to press just a request to buy another one!! NOT FUNNY! Yet again shows you or your digital publisher haven't really got to grips with the digital age. Told the publisher - no response as yet.

Now sorted for this month - I have been told that "this issue has been added to my account" - I trust I won't have the same palaver next month!!

There doesn't appear to be any update on this on the approprite forum thread. Will it be updated with the info and pics from the mag or perhaps even ones that didnt get published?

Well I have got the July digital issue via pocket mags  but the video section is not working at least on my end .  I am at my club house so will try it at my house later this evening .  It looks a pretty good issue  this month  with the secondhand savers article & the Shunting tractor section as part of the goods yard article .

Has anyone successfully downloaded this issue yet? I have the option to download it but then just get a message saying it has no pages in it?

Yes. I've just this minute finished downloading it. Although I appear to have a few grey pages!....I'll delete and re-download tomorrow morning.

Tase/Terry,

Dana,

   Glad to hear you resolved the problem. The video is streamed so that it keeps the download size to a minimum for each issue and you can watch it in HD. This also means that unless your computer at the club has a good connection (discount 3G here), it might not work.

 

 

Those with other issues might not have the latest App version. Can those that still have problems please also check this aspect too please?

In the UK shops Thursday June 11, so it is impressive that my printed subscription copy arrived in my post box in rural Belgium this morning (also Thursday June 11). Now all you have to do is to get your online subscription renewal system working that efficiently as well!

Big let down for me after last month when my sub copy arrived almost 10 days early.  This month still waiting, could have got it quicker by going to my local WH Smiths.

 

Why is the arrival of the subs copies so erratic?  If Belgium subscribers can receive it by the time the printed version goes on sale why can't we?  In two years of subscribing I have only received my copy early less than half a dozen times.

I always thought that one of the advantages of subscribing was that we got it before it went on sale in the shops!

Almost relieved to read that other subscribers have not received their copies today, this usually happens to me at least once a year and whilst not the worst thing that can happen, does cause a bit of anxiety given other problems experienced with the postal system.

Don't think I've received my copy any time before it appears in Newsagents for the last couple of years though.

Pleased to say my subs copy arrived this morning. After a brief skim through, Hollowbeck Shed and Loughborough Road look to be very appealing layouts and I look forward to a more thorough read later today.

Let there be rejoicing and flying of flags from public buildings, for there has been deliverance.  Yea verily.

 

English translation: it came this morning.  Bit late but welcome nonetheless.

Mine downloaded perfectly late evening of the 10th. I had seen it on the Pocketmags site but without a cover picture and was unable to download it earlier that day so presume it was being uploaded on the 10th afternoon.

A good issue without any of the hiccups I had with the June issue. Many thanks

Ian
