Electric Railway Society
About the Society
The Electric Railway Society was established in 1946 as a society dedicated to promoting interest in, and the study of, all aspects of electric railways both in the UK and overseas.
​
Significant aspects of the Society changed in 2014 when:
​
(i) publication of the ‘Journal’ ceased, replaced by a website;
(ii) members were no longer subject to a subscription fee, and became in effect ‘supporters’ of the Society;
(iii) its regular meeting programme ceased
​
Benefits of ‘Membership’
​
The Society does not have a formal membership as such, and accordingly no payment in the form of a subscription fee is necessary.
​
​The Society formerly sponsored an annual meeting usually held in conjunction with the Light Rail Transit Association, typically in London, however this appears to have discontinued.
​
Information on electric railways worldwide are provided on its website, publicly accessible.
​
Access to back issues of the ‘Journal’ available.
