Comments on Railnews for Android

★☆☆☆☆ Alan R · Oct 2, 2020
Once a free paper when I worked on the railway for 42 years up to 2018. But since I retired I now have to pay for it which I don't think is a good idea.
★☆☆☆☆ Trevor Wildman · Jan 2, 2016
Not paying for this I used to get this free as I work on railways so not prepared to pay for it now
