Onboard Reading...

[First ScotRail]

Just Wondering...each company has its own version of onboard reading but whats your favourite complimentary Newsletter/Magazine?

 

[Spaceflower]

You have got to be joking. :roll:

Metro, thats about it.:???:

Metro, thats about it.:???:

I am meaning their magzine such as
Livewire for GNER
Hotline for Virgin
OneLife for 'one'
etc, etc

I think Metro's very good, seeing as it's free. I haven't read anything else. If they're anything like the ones on planes, I don't really find much good stuff in them.

 

[Gizmogle]

Hotline can be quite interesting. I usually tend to read that when I'm on a long journey.
MMLs magazine (can't remember the name) is just rather pointless.

on-route is MML's (or was)

for those of you who dont know what i am meaning, look at fsr's example:

I like Hotline and the Great Western one, though I cannot remember its name.

Hotline is quite interesting, and some issues of Livewire have been good. MML used to have a fairly decent one, but scrapped it for what is a fairly poor newsletter!

I find SWT's E-motion quite interesting - especially reading some of the letters that they publish (and especially the replies )and some of the questions in the Passenger's Panel section can be quite amusing!

 

[Ascot]

All aload of tripe inside em all

I had a look at FGW's one "Go to..." at the weekend and had a go at the crossword, though I don't generally read them.

Hotline is excellent for tearing up and stuffing into gaps in the train to stop irritating vibrating & rattling blinds and panels

 

[devon_metro]

'Reach' didn't used to be bad but 'Go To' is absoulte crap!

 

[Spaceflower]

I knew what you meant FirstScotrail, but would rather count County Durham sheep than read a company magazine.....ANY company magazine!!
especially train ones, but you find them in any company reception:???:

 

[me123]

Maybe I'm missing something with FSR's mag, but that just looks like advertising, advertising, advertising. Everything on it seems to be about places and events you can take a FSR train to.

 

[HSTfan!!!]

Used enjoy Reach but I find virgins hotline interests me the most... haven't been on a virgin train for a while now mind

 

[First ScotRail]

I quite liked Go To.. I always think Hotline has too much advertising in it, i know it needs a lot to pay for itself but there can be too much! Livewire kindof bores me..its the same old stuff every 3 months. FSR's is short and can be a bit boring! explorer by tpe i think is too unorganised!

I am glad I am not the only one who does that!

Now that IS a good idea! Will definately try that next time i'm on a Voyager! (Not often thankfully! )

FCC make a tiny leaflet every three months, dominated by a picture of a grinning Elaine. They publish about two letters and maybe a feature on somewhere where you could go on their route if you were really bored.

They have also started doing profiles of staff and passengers (I travel on a train N times per week ...). At least it isn't covered with adverts. There is no room.

 

[me123]

Similarly, most of FSR's literature has a picture of a Mary Dickson. Maybe they're going for her "friendly" face?

 

[Galvanize]

Right, onboard magazines eh?
MML: What's the point?
FGW: Used to be a good one called "Reach", not seen "go"
Virgin: Good for reasons mojo stated.
GNER: Quite interesting
one life: alright i guess
