Most railway trade titles don't submit themselves to the indignity of an ABC circulation audit.
So a bowler tip to those that do.
Here the recently published 2009 circulation figures for the top three (with 2008 figures in brackets):
Railway Magazine 34,715 (35,100)
Steam Railway 32,842 (32,124)
RAIL magazine 20,546 (21,019)
Reports of the Dead Tree Media's demise remain somewhat exaggerated.
