About the Society

We are a society of about 400 members whose interests cover all aspects of the Midland Railway. Members recieve a high quality Journal three times a year and a newsletter four times a year. There are events throughout the year where members can socialize and learn more about the Midland Railway. We also help run the Midland Railway Study Centre and publish books and pamphlets on historical aspects of the Midland Railway.

Aims of the Society

  • Bring together those interested in the Midland Railway; including its predecessors, successors, joint lines and working arrangements.
