Contents of the Journals of the North Staffordshire Railway Study Group

Note that Issues 1 - 4 of the 'Journal' were published under the title of the 'Newsletter'. With effect from Issue number 5 the title was changed to that of the 'Journal'. To avoid confusion with the then title of the newsletter - which is now entitled 'Loop Lines' - the term 'Journal' is used througout the index.

In order that members of the Group can complete their stocks of Journals, as far as it is possible so to do, there are limited stocks of back issues of some Journals available, but only to members. The price per copy of Journals 1 to 5, is £1.20p per Journal. The price per copy of Journals numbered 6 and above is £2.75. The price includes p&p. Orders should be sent to the Membership Secretary, cheques payable to the North Staffordshire Railway Study Group, but do please enquire about availability before ordering.
