A new year and the start of another full issue of Southern Way volumes to continue the series. Noodle Books continue to be very grateful to all those who have contributed towards what is fast becoming an amazing, alternative history of the Southern Railway and its constituents. The formal history of dates, facts and figures has been extremely well documented in the past, but the Southern Way volumes have delved behind the scenes of officialdom to reveal all the 'hows', 'whats', 'whys' and 'wherefores' which are of such interest to dedicated Southern fans. Put altogether, the Southern Way provides an astonishing historical resource of the Southern Railway. As usual, this issue contains a great range Southern related articles, photo features and illustrations.
