About
scot-rail.co.uk is the site for railway enthusiasts with an interest in Scottish railways.
scot-rail was started up in April 1999 as a mailing list using Yahoo!Groups. It's original aim was to provide a rail-gen type group as at the time there was little in the way of Scottish content on the original rail-gen list. It soon grew to become an all round group for anyone interested in Scottish railways. Recently it became obvious that a single mailing list wasn't able to meet the needs of the different interests that the members had. In July 2006 scot-rail was split into a set of five email lists, based on the new scot-rail.co.uk website.
The five mailing lists are:
Further details about the mailing lists can be found in the Posting Guidelines.
scot-rail.co.uk also has an extensive wiki, a website all about Scotland's railways that any member can add to and edit. There is also space for members to upload photos and files, and you have the chance to see your photo on the group homepage.
