There is an internet discussion group started by members of the Railway & Canal Historical Society (but not a part of that organisation) at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/railwaycanal/. It is intended for anyone with an interest in transport history to pose questions, assist in research and to give details of relevant sources (including web sites). Also for details of forthcoming events, talks, trips or outings into the field. As today's events are tomorrow's history, news of current developments are equally welcome.
