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.
