Rail Professional UK - October 2015

Rail Professional is a monthly UK magazine covering the business side of rail transport in Great Britain. Published by Rail Professional Ltd, the magazine is available free of charge to managers of UK train operating companies and Network Rail or by subscription to non-qualifying readers.

The magazine was launched soon after privatisation with the aim of creating a forum for managers to communicate across the industry and stay abreast of developments in other companies. Under British Rail, managers met regularly with their counterparts across the UK, but the fragmentation of the railways into separate Tocs made it harder for managers to remain up-to-date on developments outside of their own organisation.

Rail Professional, launched by former British Rail manager Andrew Goodman, aimed to fill this gap.
