RMweb Premium DLT Posted September 10, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2022 Hasn't appeared in WHS in Exeter yet, or are they getting so few copies that it goes very quickly? Looked three time now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted September 10, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2022 There was loads in my local WHS yesterday, perhaps they should spread them around better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you kindly sir, I knows where to find you! I've still not had me subs copy, it would be my second edition after renewing my subs, so I know I'm in date. I shall have to find something else to look at pictures in for the meantime. Edited September 11, 2022 by Tim Dubya Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted September 10, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2022 For what it's worth, at least one person at today's show in Swindon reported not yet having received their subscription copies. Gosh, could I have used any more words to make that simple point? Towns other than Swindon are available in Wiltshire, although I have to say that the Jewel In The Crown Indian restaurant in the town of that name was most satisfactory..... 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arun Sharma Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Mine arrived today in OX14. I did note the advert for the latest MRJ index. Unusually it appears to cover 12 issues rather than the usual eight. No matter, saves money getting them bound in 12s rather than 8s!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 14, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2022 In order to save the trip down the road to WHS locally instead I drove all the way to Swindon. And found that there - at a certain 'Festival of Steam' - there was a well know purveyor of railway books who had travelled all the way from Bath with a selection of stock which included MRJ; ideal thank you 'Not Jeremy'. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Royal Mail may have exacerbated the delay, it isn't unusual for MRJ to be available from WHS, etc. before my copy turns up. It is especially disappointing when there is a long delay under normal circumstances, having paid in advance and supported Cygnet Magazines cashflow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePipersSon Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 My subscription copy arrived this morning, in Hemel Hempstead. This was a relief as plan B is not feasible as they have closed the local W H Smiths. A trip to St Albans is the alternative now. Another subscription magazine arrived at the same time, this one being 6 days after publication day. It has never been late before so I presume the strikes, mourning and everything else is causing extraordinary delays. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was only a smidgen that I noticed to be fair. I think what you haven't pointed out is the lack of any article about the LSWR in Cornwall in 1883. I've only done a quick flick through but it looks to be a splendid edition with a trainset or two and people bending shiny metal into train shapes. Top stuff (and we'll worth the wait... honest). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Iain.d Posted September 16, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 16, 2022 Mine arrived today! Along with my Pines Express 306: The Bulletin of the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust.

Hope it turns up soon chap 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
