Today's Railways UK is an English-based monthly magazine covering rail transport in Great Britain. It was founded by Platform 5 in January 2002 as Entrain as a sister publication to Today's Railways Europe, in January 2006 it was rebranded as Today's Railways UK.[1] [2] [3]

The magazine was set up by Peter Fox, who wrote a monthly "Grumpy Old Man" Column. It is owned by Platform 5 publications. Fox was editor-in-chief of the magazine until his death in 2011.[4]

Robin Sisson, the rail campaigner, worked for Today's Railways UK as assistant editor, under editor-in-chief Peter Fox, from 2006 until his death in 2008.[5] Sisson wrote the monthly "Just the Ticket" feature.[6]

Production of the magazine was suspended in April 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and resumed with the July 2020 issue.[7]
