A year-long special event is underway to celebrate the railways that serve Britain. Jeremy Boot G4NJH gives us the details.

Train enthusiasts credit the modern railways with helping Britain's identity take shape over the decades. The British Railways Amateur Radio Society G4LMR has amplified that message on the air since it was formed in 1966 by a handful of railwaymen who were also amateur radio operators. Now its membership includes any amateurs with an interest in the railways.

A busy and active society with a full event calendar, the group is hosting a year-long special event station GBØLMR, to promote the message of celebration and mark 200 years of modern railway service. The station is on the air from January through to the end of 2025.

If you have an interest in trains, or just in history, this is just the ticket.
