Hello all and welcome to a bumper edition of the Railsoc Newsletter, we have plenty of news to share with you, so please peruse our pragraphs below :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, our... "February" trip is this Saturday!
We love the number 2 here at railsoc, so for our 2nd trip
this semester we're welcoming back Birdsoc for a 2nd collaboration! This
time it will be the rather lovely seaside town of Kinghorn. With a
beautiful view from the railway, classic railsoc beach game™ and the chance to
learn about and spot seabirds, what could be better day out!
Saturday the 1st of March is where to mark it in your
calendar. Meet at Waverley station at 09:30. Return tickets will
cost £7.50 with a Railcard or £11.30 without. Hopefully we'll spot Mallard
(haha).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now follows a very important message from our
president:
Hello Alle!
We have an exciting update for BIG TRIP™
The society has spoken and we will be going to (drumroll) : Inverness!
Join us for a voyage to the capital of the Highlands whilst
experiencing one of the most beautiful railway lines in the UK! For all the
details, see the wonderful (as always) graphic Jamie has made above/below.
Priority
access tickets go to our members (if you're reading this - that means YOU!)
All things going well, tickets
should be already for £20. Where else could you get £20 return rail tickets
to Inverness?!?!! Plus, you get to do it with your favourite university railway
society :)
Ticket
inventory is limited (unfortunately Big EUSA didn't give us unlimited funds) so
book now to secure
your place. Member priority
access lasts until Monday 3rd March, any unsold tickets will then be
able to be bought by anyone and will be advertised on the society socials.
If you end up buying a ticket and later discover you are
unable to make it, please let us know ASAP either through our Discord,
Instagram or email (railsocedi@gmail.com). Conversely, if you want to come but
are unable to get a ticket, let us know! We will set up a waiting list in case
any tickets become available.
See you there,
Jason-Yūki

Model railway news now:
We need YOU to help us build this railway! Our first
ever planning session is taking place - our current stock of track will be
brought across to pleasance where we will all decide on a layout and discuss an
itinerary for the next few weeks.
If you are interested in teensy trains, or even if you're
not sure, come and attend the Munro room at Pleasance on Tuesday the
4th of March at 18:15. (I may even bring biscuits...).
Yours, Liam

Finally, keep an eye out for announcements early this march
for our annual railsoc quiz! This exciting feature will get your cogs
turning as teams battle to the death take home the prize! Don't miss it, keep
up with our announcements on Instagram
and Discord!

That's all for now, thank you for reading this rather
stuffed newsletter!
I wish you all a pleasant week and we hope to see you
choo-choosing to join us soon!
Sincerely, the railsoc team
